Proteomic Breakthrough: 618 Proteins Identified in Blood That Detect Cancer 7 Years Before Diagnosis – Revolutionizing Prevention Strategies
Oxford, England – Blood proteins that may indicate the presence of cancer up to seven years before diagnosis have been identified by researchers in two studies funded by Cancer Research UK and conducted by Oxford Population Health. These proteins, totaling 618 and related to 19 different cancer types, were found in individuals whose blood samples were collected seven years prior to their cancer diagnosis.
