Catching cancer at its earliest stages saves lives. But in a body made up of trillions of cells, how do you spot a small group of rogue cancer cells? Biomedical researcher Hani Goodarzi discusses his lab's discovery of a new class of RNAs that, when paired with emerging AI tools, could help detect cancer earlier, more precisely and even through routine blood work - potentially transforming our understanding of the disease.

There are companies that detect cancer with a blood sample very accurately, but they first need a tumor sample so they can create a fingerprint from it. Then they can see if the treatments are working or if the cancer is still there by sequencing the DNA from a blood sample because tumors release ctDNA into the blood stream.

@asdf8948 - true, the detection of cancer, via blood sample, has been done for a long time now. If you do a full body scan, that woudl include full blood test, they can detect that. Also maybe not a great shortcut, but in case of men... try pissing on the pregnancy test and see what happens. If it is positive - there is quite large percentage of results, that would actually suggest that you may have a cancer. More detailed checkup is required of course, but as a fast quick test - that could be also a starting point to do (as some types of testicular cancer make human chorionic gonadotropin, or HCG - the same hormone women make during pregnancy).

@tannhauser5399 6 ай бұрын

Yeah we do. For a long time now. But it won't come out in a basic, standard test - that is usually done very quickly. You have to request a full blood test, or they will do it if there is suspicion of cancer, and is also usually done when doing something like a full body scan (CT, MRI and so on).

Just because it involves blood tests doesn't make it Theranos. It should be subject to scientific studies to try to falsify their claims like a normal medical innovation.

Why? I get that some people don't like needles etc but if that is your barrier to receive (modern) medical treatment you wont be in for a good time I'm afraid. Blood is easy to get, you should be afraid for things like spinal fluid tests!

He's explaining as if cancer is the 'cause' of disease as supposed to being the result. As if cancer is an active thing like a virus or bacteria that 'targets' DNA in the body to spread as supposed to the body being in a state that causes DNA malfunction from smoking for example and cancer being the result. Something is afoot.
