The examination concerns people over 50 years of age. Although there are no results yet, the researchers are optimistic that there is “tremendous” potential
A powerful “weapon” for its early diagnosis cancer which can save thousands of lives, is being tested in United Kingdom.
It is a blood test for people over 50 that is currently being tested in the British health system and as reported in a report by the Daily Mailcould prevent up to one in ten cancer deaths.
The blood test aims to detect more than 50 types of cancer before symptoms appear and is being tested for the first time worldwide.
Although there are no results yet, the researchers are optimistic that there is “tremendous” potential.
It is scheduled 140,000 volunteers to take part in the tests and be examined to produce the necessary findings.
If the trial proves successful, the test will be carried out on a million more people from 2024, possibly nationwide.
British researchers believe the test – from US company Grail – could be a “tipping point” in how the NHS deals with the disease.
