Lung cancer in a blood test can detect early stage of development

Routine blood test can detect lung cancer at an early stage of their development, the researchers reported in the hospital in Cologne (Germany). Survival after lung cancer is about 15 percent. Lung cancer kills an average of 1.3 million people worldwide each year, as it often diagnosed in the later stages of the disease. The results were presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. According scientists research, in the blood of cancer genetic profile, which can be detected by a blood sample with 88% accuracy. Analysis of blood from the finger is a useful tool to reduce the risk of lung cancer for two years prior to the diagnosis of the disease, said Dr. Thomas Zander of the University of Cologne. Detect cancer at an early stage in their development is a major challenge for effective treatment, the scientists said. Also, as we reported earlier, bicarbonate also help detect cancer in the early stages.
