How do you identify the earliest signs of cancer development? 🤔 buff.ly/3A84x0S @utoronto.ca A new study of blood samples collected up to nine years before a cancer diagnosis found changes in the DNA that captured the body’s response to early traces of cancer development.
Quote from Philip Awadalla, Professor of Molecular Genetics at Oxford Population Health and the Big Data Institute: 'Together, these studies chart a progression from detecting established tumours to identifying the earliest systemic signals of cancer development – supporting a future in which minimally invasive blood tests could complement existing screening and help identify people who would benefit most from closer surveillance.'
