Scientists develop potential urine test to detect early lung cancer, identifying "zombie" cells.

Scientists at the University of Cambridge have developed a potential urine test to detect early signs of lung cancer. The test identifies proteins from "zombie" cells that can promote cancer growth. Successfully tested on mice, the researchers hope to soon begin human trials. Early detection could lead to better treatment outcomes and is funded by Cancer Research UK as a cheaper alternative to current scans.
