How ‘absolutely stunned’ scientists used gold to make a key cancer breakthrough

Australian researchers in Queensland have discovered a cancer biomarker, detectable via a simple blood test, unique to common cancers, and could revolutionise early detection screening. The discovery of a unique DNA signature common to multiple cancers could one day revolutionise the way we diagnose cancer, particularly in its early stages, Australian researchers say. The cancer marker was identified by scientists at the University of Queensland who have also developed a simple test to detect it in blood and biopsy tissue. Read full article...
