“This research brings us closer to being able to prevent cancer with targeted drugs – once thought impossible but now much more attainable,” says Dr Karl Smith-Byrne, Senior Molecular Epidemiologist at Oxford Population Health 🧫 Research has found that proteins linked to cancer can start appearing in people’s blood more than seven years before they’re diagnosed. In the future, it’s possible doctors could use these early warning signs to find and treat cancer much earlier than they’re able to today. Read on 👇 https://cruk.ink/3Rx1Rgv
Great first step, now these discovery findings need to be validated in large prospective studies to confirm the utility of these panel of biomarkers in predicting risk of different cancers

Early detection is critical to successful treatment. What I didn't read is whether the same proteins changed in all / most of the 4,900 samples of those who later developed cancer. This is important in determining correlation vs causation.
This is an amazing development
Early detection saves lives. Brilliant 👏👏

3dMy undergraduate studies have centered on the identification of macrofungi through morphological and molecular approaches, providing me with a diverse skill set in laboratory techniques, including fungal taxonomy, molecular phylogenetics, mushroom cultivation, DNA extraction, PCR, DNA sequencing, microscopy, and phylogenetic analysis. Additionally, I conducted research on the green synthesis of manganese nanoparticles from a wild mushroom, exploring its anticancer activities.
