New blood test spots cancer before scans.

Chinese scientists have built a highly sensitive blood test that can detect tiny traces of lung cancer long before a tumour shows up on a scan.

The convergence of three technologies, DNA nanotechnology, CRISPR, and quantum dots (how’s that for a 21st century cocktail) had made it possible to spot near-invisible warning signals in blood, opening the door to earlier diagnosis and faster treatment decisions. #Science #cancer #technology

This new blood test could detect cancer before it shows up on scans

A new light-based sensor can spot incredibly tiny amounts of cancer biomarkers in blood, raising the possibility of earlier and simpler cancer detection. The technology merges DNA nanotechnology, CRISPR, and quantum dots to generate a clear signal from just a few molecules. In lung cancer tests, it worked even in real patient serum samples. Researchers hope it could eventually power portable blood tests for cancer and other diseases.
