Every second counts: New blood test detects brain cancer in an hour
The new blood test could be a valuable tool for identifying brain cancer at an early stage when symptoms first arise.
Our hope is that if early detection is more feasible, then there is an increased chance of survival,” said Hsueh-Chia Chang, the Bayer Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Notre Dame and lead author of the study Glioblastoma is a highly aggressive and malignant form of brain cancer, and the majority of patients diagnosed with it live only 12 to 18 months after detection. The key to this technology lies in a tiny biochip that uses an electrokinetic sensor — roughly the “size of a ball in a ballpoint pen.”
