More fantastic cancer treatment news. We’re on a roll. This blood test for breast cancer is 100% accurate and could allow treatment before the illness becomes incurable.

That's amazing.
Save lives and cost to NHS - win/win.
I've a friend just getting funding for her PhD in medical research, some of the stuff going on is astonishing and very close to release.
Would be kind of ironic that just as all these other diseases become curable we open up to another disease the medical profession refuses to even acknowledge exists half the time.
She was telling me about injectable glue that seals heart valves, that's in trials at the moment.
I know stem cell is emotive, but they got a solutions/cures for numerous things waiting, some very major things.
They keep giving me the FIT tests because I keep refusing to take the expensive test (no symptoms, no family history, hate being knocked out).
And because they're all trying to make up the $$ from Covid, they've now "revised" mammogram regs from every 3 yrs for my age group to every year.
We've been waiting for serious actually working breakthroughs in cancer testing and treatment for so long and it seems in the last year or two we've had some major breakthroughs and there seem to be more on the horizon thanks to mRNA tech
Same, I know we've gotta wait a while but it's such a significant breakthrough in medicine, it's exciting to see what it will be capable of achieving in due time
A lot of knowledge is coming together and being shared. Each breakthrough is like a trampoline to the next one, two or three, often in different areas, which is why it’s accelerating.
If this had been around 30 years ago, my mother might not have died from stage 4 breast cancer (recurrence that spread to liver and spine). Her mother died at 105 years old (organ failure). Mom died a year later at 80.
Me, too. I’m religious about getting the highest quality 3D mammogram possible every year. Already had one biopsy (negative) nearly 20 years ago. Blood tests would be a great advance.

It feels like there have been quite a lot of hopeful stories recently - eg the vaccines and the prostrate cancer test.
Is it just coincidence, or is there some sort of breakthrough happening with cancer diagnosis and treatment of all types?
