Blood test could cut cancer diagnosis time in half

NCT ID NCT05846594

Summary

This international study tested whether a blood test called liquid biopsy could help doctors diagnose advanced lung or gastrointestinal cancer faster than standard tissue biopsies. Researchers compared the time it took to get results using both methods in 463 newly diagnosed patients. The goal was to see if the blood test could speed up diagnosis so treatment could start sooner.
