Blood test to replace mammo
Has anyone else heard or read about this? A research centre in England have successfully detected breast cancer using blood tests earlier than a mammogram would. They are currently doing further trial...
Yes i read something about that very recently. But it wasn't to replace mammograms as such, it was to identify prescence of particular cells . Will be years before in real use. But research is the only way to develop better treatments.
If you google search "breast cancer blood test" and use the handy google tools option to change it to only search within the last month, you will see several varoius articles about latest developments in blood tests.
