A groundbreaking blood test developed by researchers at New York University shows approximately 80% accuracy in detecting colon cancer, with a remarkable 90% accuracy in ruling out the disease among healthy individuals. This innovation, designed by Freenome, could revolutionize screening practices by providing a non-invasive alternative to colonoscopies. Concurrently, researchers at the University of Sharjah have found that compounds in the wormwood shrub may effectively target colorectal cancer cells while sparing healthy cells, pointing to new potential treatment avenues alongside advanced diagnostic methods.
'A highly accurate test would transform the way doctors screen for the disease,' said lead researcher Dr. Aasma Shaukat, emphasizing the test's potential impact.
'Colorectal cancer is a common and serious illness, making it essential to find new and better treatments,' stated lead author Dr. Lara Bou Malhab, highlighting the need for innovation.
