Jerusalem: Israeli researchers have discovered a method for matching precise treatment to lung cancer patients through simple blood tests, Hebrew-language website “Ynet” reported on Monday. The study, conducted by the oncology department at Soroka Hospital in southern Israel, examined the contribution of the use of “Guardant360” non-invasive liquid biopsy to match accurate treatment for patients […]
Sydney: Australian scientists are developing a simple blood test that quickly and easily detects whether a person is at risk of a secondary heart attack. The simple blood test, similar to the process and cost of having a cholesterol test, could be operated out of hospital pathology laboratories that already contain the necessary equipment. It […]
Johannesburg: Researchers have developed a new blood test that can more accurately predict the development of tuberculosis (TB) up to two years before its onset in high-risk patients. The new test predicts TB particularly in people living with persons having active TB — a condition when the immune system is unable to stop the bacteria […]
New York: Earlier detection is important to improving survival of patients with liver cancer, and combining an ultrasound imaging with a blood test can help achieve that, say researchers, including one of Indian-origin. Using ultrasound and a blood test for high alpha fetoprotein (AFP) levels together improves detection of early-stage liver cancer significantly, said the […]

Sydney: A new blood test that can help in the early diagnoses of eight common cancers before they spread and risk patients’ chances of survival has been developed by Australian researchers. The new test would help early detection of cancers affecting the ovary, liver, stomach, pancreas, oesophagus, bowel, lung and breast, Xinhua quotes a statement […]
London: In a first, a blood test that can predict the onset and track progression of Huntington’s disease has been developed. The finding may help identify new treatments for the genetic brain disorder, which is fatal and currently incurable. Huntington’s disease is an inherited condition in which nerve cells in the brain break down over […]
Los Angeles: Actress Angelina Jolie reportedly had to undergo drug tests to prove herself worthy for the title role in 2001 film “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider”. According to an upcoming biography of actress and film executive Sherry Lansing, who was the CEO of Paramount Pictures earlier, Jolie was asked to undergo a few drug tests […]
New York: A one-of-its-kind blood test to measure pain in patients could open the door to precision medicine and help stem the tide of the opioid crisis, say researchers. Until now, to assess pain – a subjective sensation – doctors had to rely on patients self-reporting or the clinical symptoms. But the novel blood test […]
London: Researchers have developed a new test that could help doctors detect Alzheimer’s disease eight years before the first symptoms occur. Using current techniques, Alzheimer’s disease, the most frequent cause of dementia, can only be detected once the typical plaques have formed in the brain. At this point, therapy seems no longer possible. However, the […]
New York: A new blood test has shown ability to screen numerous types of cancer with a high degree of accuracy. A trial of the test showed it detected and localized more than 20 types of cancers. The test, developed by biotechnology company Grail Inc uses next-generation sequencing technology to probe DNA for tiny chemical […]
London: Researchers have found that a simple blood test can detect breast cancer up to five years before there are any clinical signs of it. The blood test identifies the body’s immune response to substances produced by tumour cells, according to the research presented at the 2019 NCRI (National Cancer Research Institute) Cancer Conference in […]
New York: Researchers have found that a simple blood test can help identify people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who are at higher risk of cardiovascular problems because of a phenomenon called “reverse dipping” that causes blood pressure to rise rather than lower during sleep. Most people experience lower blood pressure at night. The new […]
London: Researchers have found that repeated measurements of the biomarker FIB-4 in human blood every few years can predict the risk of developing severe liver disease. According to a study published in the Journal of Hepatology, the risk of liver cirrhosis increases if the levels of this biomarker rise between two testing occasions. Fat accumulation […]
New York: A standard test that assesses blood cells can identify which patients admitted to hospital with Covid-19 could face a high risk of becoming critical and die, say researchers. “We wanted to help find ways to identify high-risk Covid patients as early and as easily as possible — who are likely to become severely […]
