I hope it won't be to long before Australia adopts this procedure. It will help a lot of people, especially children.

 

Thanks for the article.

A simple blood test that can detect cancer before any symptoms are noticeable has been developed by researchers in a breakthrough that could save thousands of lives. The scientists, who unveiled the test at the British Science Festival in Swansea, compared the new test to a smoke detector, because it does not actually find cancer but changes to red blood cells that occur when cancer is present. SHARE Discovering cancer early is a key factor in successful treatment. If a tumour is caught in a single part of the body, there is a much better chance that it can be removed surgically. If the cancer has spread to other organs, the chance the patient will die is much higher. Because it is a simple blood test costing just £35, it could be used to monitor people with a high risk of getting the disease.

This would be a wonderful thing for people with a history of cancer in the family.
