Blood gene test detects 90% of early-stage pancreatic cancers

Researchers at Kanazawa University have developed a blood-based gene expression test that can detect early-stage pancreatic cancer. This non-invasive method aims to improve survival rates by identifying the disease when it is still surgically treatable.
Why it matters
Pancreatic cancer has a notoriously low survival rate due to late detection; this technology could significantly improve patient outcomes.
