Blood Test Unveils Method for Diagnosing Brain Tumors
A significant breakthrough has been achieved in detecting brain tumors in patients through a simple blood test.
Research conducted by scientists at Imperial College London has revealed that a deadly brain tumor can be diagnosed in patients through a routine blood test.
Through trials at the Brain Tumor Research Centre of Excellence at Imperial College London, researchers have discovered a method to detect brain tumors from standard blood samples.
According to scientists, this breakthrough will accelerate both the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors, potentially reducing the need for invasive surgery and associated risks.
Experts suggest that liquid biopsy, especially, will be beneficial for patients whose brain tumors are difficult to reach, meaning their treatment can now be expedited.
