The current method doctors use to screen for prostate cancer involves looking at the levels of a protein called prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in a patient's blood. The problem with a PSA test, however, is that it’s not very accurate. In fact, 70 percent of the people it flags … [Read more...] about Scientists develop AI that detects prostate cancer with near 100% accuracy

This universal cancer blood test can detect and locate 50 types of tumors
Cancer is one of humanity’s leading killers, and the main reason for that is it’s often hard to detect until it’s too late. But that might be about to change. Researchers have developed a new type of AI-powered blood test that can accurately detect over 50 different types of … [Read more...] about This universal cancer blood test can detect and locate 50 types of tumors
Massive cancer genome study may pave the way for better treatments
Cancer is a hugely complicated disease, and understanding how it can be treated requires an equally enormous effort from scientists. That effort is well underway with the Pan-Cancer Project, an international collaboration involving over 1,300 researchers globally dedicated to … [Read more...] about Massive cancer genome study may pave the way for better treatments
