Cancer can be cured easily if we could detect it in very early stages. Actually, our body makes cancerous cells every day and the immune system removes them automatically. But sometimes, cancer grows and our body cannot defeat it and needs help. There are three main treatments for various types of cancer: Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy.
If we use these treatments in very early stages of cancer, we can defeat and remove it easily.
So, don't afraid of cancer.
How can we find cancer in a very early stage?
GOOD NEWS!!!!
Scientists made a very significant progress on developing a blood test that could detect 8 types of cancer in their early stages.
Common tumors of the ovary, liver, stomach, pancreas, esophagus, colorectum, lung and breast.
This blood test, called CancerSEEK, could cost less than $500.
The average sensitivity of the tests was 70% among the eight cancer types, researchers found. CancerSEEK was able to detect 98% of ovarian cancers, but when it came to the much more common breast cancer, the accuracy was significantly lower, at 33%.
