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.
