Researchers at the University of Queensland have discovered a unique DNA signature common to multiple cancers that could one day revolutionise the way we diagnose the disease.
The cancer marker can be identified with a simple blood test, and has so far appeared in every type of breast cancer examined, as well as in people with prostate cancer, colorectal cancer and lymphoma.
The researchers are now working with the University of Queensland’s partner company UniQuest to further develop the technology.
