A method of detecting a
brain tumor using standardized blood tests.
There has been a major
breakthrough in detecting brain tumors in patients through a blood test.
In this regard, Imperial College
London scientists have found that a simple blood test can diagnose malignant
brain tumors in patients.
Trials at Imperial College
London's Brain Tumor Research Center of Excellence have discovered a way to
detect brain tumors from standard blood samples.
Scientists say that this will
speed up the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors while reducing the need
for painful and risky surgeries to diagnose brain tumors.
According to experts, liquid
biopsies will be especially useful for patients whose brain tumors are
difficult to reach, meaning they can now be treated more quickly.
