In a recent opinion piece published in the journal Trends in Cancer, researchers examined the rising global burden of lung cancer in people with no history of smoking. This phenomenon requires its own ...

A new light-based sensor can spot incredibly tiny amounts of cancer biomarkers in blood, raising the possibility of earlier and simpler cancer detection. The technology merges DNA nanotechnology, ...

A closely watched clinical trial in Britain that screened blood for early detection of cancer did not show a reduction in diagnoses at later stages of the disease. By Rebecca Robbins and Gina Kolata A ...

Researchers have developed a highly sensitive light-based sensor that can detect extremely low concentrations of cancer biomarkers in the blood. The new technology could one day make it possible to ...

Scientists in China claim they have developed a straightforward blood test capable of identifying early warning signs of cancer well before a tumour would be detectable through conventional hospital ...

Cancer is often difficult to detect in its early stages. Biomarkers that can reveal the disease are present only in very small amounts in the blood. As a result, many tests today require additional ...
