Scientists develop a highly accurate blood test that detects early-stage breast cancer.

Scientists at the University of Edinburgh have created a new blood test that can detect breast cancer at its earliest stage with 98% accuracy. The test combines Raman spectroscopy and machine learning to identify subtle chemical changes in blood plasma. It can also distinguish between the four main types of breast cancer with 90% accuracy. Researchers aim to expand the study to include more participants and test for early forms of other cancers.
