Positive.News — May 17, 2024, 11:00 AM UTC
Summary: Research at the University of Oxford identified 618 proteins linked to 19 types of cancer, with 107 appearing in blood samples over seven years before diagnosis. This discovery could lead to preventative cancer treatments using targeted drugs. Lifestyle changes like quitting smoking and reducing alcohol intake can also lower cancer risk. The study aims to understand these proteins' roles and develop tests to detect them early.
