A new blood test provides detection of solid tumors as much as 5 years earlier than mammograms or CT scans. Aimed at detecting solid tumors such as breast or colon cancers, the new test measures autobodies produced by the body to negate antigens produced by the tumor. Early detection means earlier treatment and a much better prognosis for cancer patients. The test, based on the work of breast cancer scientist John Roberts at the University of Nottingham (England), will be used in the U.S. before the end of the year.
