Blood Test Detects Cancer and Liver Disease | Science News
Scientists at UCLA have unveiled a groundbreaking blood test that can detect multiple cancers and liver diseases by analyzing DNA methylation patterns—chemical tags that reveal where disease signals originate in the body. By filtering out background noise from healthy cells, their innovative MethylScan method zeroes in on subtle methylation changes linked to illness, offering early detection with potential for lower cost. Tested on over 1,000 people, it showed strong promise in identifying liver cancer in high-risk patients and pinpointing disease origins—a crucial step toward a single…
