London: A new blood-based RNA test can detect, classify and pinpoint the location of cancer with greater accuracy by analysing a sample equivalent to one drop of blood, scientists say. Using this new method for bloodbased RNA tests of blood platelets, researchers have be en able to identify cancer with 96% accuracy , researchers said.
“Being able to detect cancer at an early stage is vital. We have studied how a whole new blood-based method of biopsy can be used to detect cancer, which in the future renders an invasive cell tissue sample unnecessary in diagnosing lung cancer, for instance,“ said Jonas Nilsson, cancer researcher at Umea University in Sweden. “In the study , nearly all forms of cancer were identified, which proves that blood-based biopsies have an immense potential to improve early detection of cancer,“ said Nilsson.
Researchers from Umea University , in collaborations with researchers from the Netherlands and the US, investigated how a new method of blood-based RNA tests of the part of the blood called platelets could be used in detecting and classifying cancer.
The results show that blood platelets could constitute a complete and easily accessible blood-based source for sampling and hence be used in diagnosing cancer as well as in the choice of treatment method. The study was published in the journal Cancer Cell.
