Australian researchers have developed a 10-minute test that can detect the presence of cancer cells anywhere in the human body according to a newly published study.
The test was developed at the University of Queensland and works by identifying the presence of a unique DNA structure in cancer cells, far earlier than current methods can provide according to published paper.
The next step is for researchers to stage clinical studies into how early cancer can be detected, and whether the test can be used to gauge the effectiveness of treatment.
