Detecting Lung Cancer Early
A team of researchers led by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center reports in the Journal of Clinical Oncology the validation of a potential "HIV-test" equivalent for the early detection of lung cancer. The test, which relies on immune-system signals, much like an HIV test, can detect the presence of lung cancer a year prior to diagnosis, long before symptoms appear.
