Revolutionary Blood Test Detects Brain Tumors with 90% Accuracy

• Scientists from Britain and Denmark have developed a blood test capable of detecting brain cancer tumors with over 90% accuracy.
• This new 'liquid biopsy' identifies two specific proteins in the blood that indicate the presence of brain tumors, eliminating the need for invasive MRI scans or surgical biopsies.
• The test allows for early detection of tumors, even before they are visible on regular scans, significantly improving treatment outcomes and potentially saving millions of lives.
• It can also monitor tumor shrinkage during treatment and may be developed into a portable device for widespread use, similar to COVID-19 test kits.
• Researchers are exploring similar blood tests for other cancers like lung, breast, and bowel, with full availability expected within the next decade.
