Scientists at The Wistar Institute in the US have found a protein in the blood that appears to be more accurate at detecting lung cancer than currently available methods used for screening.
If the accuracy of this biomarker can be confirmed in a larger trial, this could lead to the development of a simple blood test that could be used for annual screening, the researchers said.
"If we can develop a simple blood test that's more accurate than low-dose computed tomography (CT) scans, we can ...
