618 blood proteins linked to cancer detected early

GB News — May 15, 2024, 09:00 AM UTC

Summary: Researchers have identified 618 proteins in the blood linked to 19 types of cancer, detectable up to seven years before diagnosis. These proteins could aid in early cancer detection and prevention efforts. Studies from Oxford Population Health suggest these proteins play a role in the earliest stages of cancer development. Further research is needed to understand their exact role and potential for targeted treatments. The findings offer hope for improved cancer survival rates.
