According to the newspaper "Daily Mail" British, the examination that is made cancer cells In the blood, it can detect the disease At an early stage, which enhances the efficacy of treatment.

The accuracy of this examination, which was called "Truth Check" In the detection of cancer cells to 92 percent, that is, it is more accurate by about five points compared to the examination that is currently carried out by radiography.

Experts believe that mammography does not always succeed in detecting breast cancer cells when they are very young, especially among young women.

The doctor and surgeon specializing in breast cancerKifah Mokbel, one of the participants in the medical project to develop the test, said that monitoring cells through the blood will make a fundamental difference.

In the same vein, says Tim Crook, a physician and cancer researcher at the facility "London Clinic" In particular, a blood test may be an alternative to the radiographic technique.

The doctor relies on a blood test to Breast cancer detection among patients who go to the facility, indicating that the late detection of malignant disease leads to major problems in Britain.

When this test is performed, the nurse takes a blood sample of 5 milliliters, and then it is analyzed for the presence of so-called metastatic tumor cells.

These cells are mostly produced by cancerous tumors, and are often a strong indicator of disease.

In a pilot study that included samples from 9632 healthy women, along with 548 women with cancer, it was found that the blood test detected the disease with an accuracy of 92 percent.

The advantage of this examination also lies in its ability to detect cancer at an advanced stage of the disease, that is, when tumors have spread to other areas of the body.

And the accuracy of this blood test reached 100 percent among women who reached the third and fourth stages of the malignant disease.
