New Blood Test Promises Rapid Prostate Cancer Detection

Aston University researchers develop a 15-minute test with 90% accuracy, potentially transforming early diagnosis and patient outcomes.

  • The test analyzes protein structures in dried blood to identify cancer presence.
  • Current PSA tests are less accurate, leading to unnecessary invasive procedures.
  • The new method is non-invasive and significantly faster than existing tests.
  • Preliminary results show high accuracy, but larger clinical trials are needed.
  • Early detection could improve survival rates and reduce prostate cancer deaths.
