Blood Test Could Detect Cancer in Its Early Stages

A group of Stanford scientists have reached new heights with the development in which a blood test can possibly detect and track cancer.

Dr. Maximillian Diehn, co-senior author of the study — published in Nature Medicine — has devoted his studies to detecting DNA that originates from cancer tumors and eventually intervenes into the bloodstream.
