The Stanford scientists have developed a low cost but highly sensitive blood test that may quickly detect cancer growth and spread.
The test called ‘single cell digital PCR’ can detect genetic mutations in minute amounts of DNA released into the blood from cancer cells.
This highly sensitive test require only a fraction of a tube of blood and can detect as few as three mutation-bearing molecule in a single reaction, said the elated researchers.
