Study results, promising/ A blood test can detect breast cancer earlier than

A simple blood test that can detect breast cancer at an earlier stage than a mammogram can catch has recently been developed.

The Trucheck test makes cancer cells more visible in the blood and correctly identifies 92 percent of breast cancer, about 5 percentage points higher than mammography. - reports abcnews.

But scientists say the real breakthrough is its enhanced ability to spot early-stage breast cancers that are so small they are hard to pick up on scans, especially in younger women.

In a case-controlled study involving blood samples from 9,632 healthy women and another 548 with breast cancer, Trucheck was able to correctly spot cancer where it existed 92 percent of the time.
