Researchers have identified hundreds of blood proteins linked to cancer years before diagnosis, opening the door to true early detection and prevention. Using advanced proteomics on data from over 44,000 people, scientists found protein patterns that signal cancer risk up to seven years in advance. This approach moves cancer care from reacting to tumors toward proactive prevention, though further validation is needed before clinical use.
Breakthrough blood test could detect cancer seven years earlier—and even help prevent it
