Blood test analyzes immune protein changes to detect early-stage tumors and guide treatment
Current methods for cancer diagnosis are based on identifying biomarkers—molecules that reveal a particular state or process in the body—produced by the tumor or associated proteins. Not surprisingly, these markers are more abundant once the tumor has already developed significantly. And the more advanced the tumor, the more difficult it is to find effective treatment options.
This important test for the identification of tumours has been obtained by a team led by researcher Gonçalo Bernardes, head of the Chemical Translational Biology Group of the National Center for Oncological Research (CNIO), and the results of the work have been published in the journal Nature Communications, as reported by the CNIO itself by press release. Current methods for diagnosing cancer are based on identifying markers – molecules that in…

Current methods for diagnosing cancer are based on identifying markers – molecules that indicate a certain state or process of the organism – that come from the tumor or proteins associated with it. Obviously, these markers are more abundant when the tumor has already developed significantly. And, the more advanced the tumor, the more complex it is to find effective treatment options. Now, a team led by Gonçalo Bernardes, head of the Translation…
