Overview

• Scientists found 618 proteins linked to 19 types of cancer, including bowel, prostate, and breast cancers.
• 107 proteins were identified in individuals whose blood was collected at least seven years before a cancer diagnosis.
• The findings could aid in developing early screening methods and preventative therapies.
• Further research is needed to determine the exact role of these proteins in cancer development.
• The studies were funded by Cancer Research UK and published in Nature Communications.
