Diagnostic tools for timely, accurate and inexpensive early cancer detection that can assess risk or monitor response to treatment could help patients get the care they need faster and improve existing care strategies.
<p>In a study led by investigators from <a href="https://www.massgeneralbrigham.org/" target=" blank">Mass General Brigham</a>, <a href="https://wyss.harvard.edu/" target=" blank">the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University</a> and <a href="https://www.dana-farber.org/" target=" blank">Dana-Farber Cancer Institute</a>, in collaboration with researchers from across the country and beyond the U.S., researchers developed a low-cost, ultrasensitive blood test to detect minute levels of a cancer biomarker that is highly specific to multiple common cancers.
