About 8.8 million human deaths, or 15.7 per cent of all deaths in the world, are caused by cancer. Chinese scientists have developed a new test that can detect different kinds of cancers using just…
Scientists from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have developed world’s first blood tests that can diagnose cancer and prototype tests could be ready in a year. Researchers have developed a computer program that…
There has been a lot of research to develop a screening test for ovarian cancer, but there hasn’t been much success so far. The two tests used most often to screen for ovarian cancer are…
Scientists at Boston University have discovered a blood test that predicts how long you will live. The researchers generated different predictive biomarker signatures. Study finds that certain “biomarker signatures” in the blood can signal people’s…
A blood test used to diagnose heart attacks could actually be used to predict them 15 years in advance, a study found. Damaged heart muscle leaks troponin into the blood stream and simple blood test…
UK scientists have developed a USB test which can detect levels of HIV in a drop of blood. The disposable technology could help patients to monitor their own treatment and produces an accurate result in…
