Liver cirrhosis symptoms occur late-stage and currently have no treatment apart from transplants. A new study reveals how regular blood sampling can help predict the risk of developing future liver disease.
Healthcare researchers and doctors from Johns Hopkins University have developed a liquid biopsy through blood test that has a screening tool to detect cancer. This provides an opportunity for a minimally-invasive oncology test to reduce morbidity and mortality from cancer.
Researchers in labs across the country are now testing a new way of performing biopsies on cancer patients that has the potential to truly transform the way physicians screen for cancer. The new test, called the liquid biopsy, is a new blood test that shows promise in detecting snippets of cancer DNA in a patient's blood.
