Researchers have developed a new liquid biopsy technique that may allow screening for certain types of cancer. The technique can detect tumor mutations from the small amount of blood DNA present early in the disease. In four types of cancer, the technique's overall sensitivity was between 56% and 83%, and it could pinpoint 62% of patients with early-stage cancer.

液体活检技术可允许早期筛查

研究人员已经开发出一种新的液体活检技术，可以对某些类型的癌症进行筛查。该技术可以从疾病早期存在的少量血液DNA中检测出肿瘤突变。在四种类型的癌症中，该技术的总体敏感性在56％至83％之间，可以确定62％的早期癌症患者。
