The use of a new blood test reveals a cancer within 10 minutes

LONDON (Reuters) – A new blood test using gold can detect and diagnose cancer in just 10 minutes, the Daily Mail reported.

As part of this test, small gold fragments can be used to detect remnants of cancer cells in the body, thus avoiding the need for a sample.

The researchers found that breast and prostate cancer cells had a unique "fingerprint", a type of molecule on the DNA.

It is useful for these molecular clusters to rush to small pieces of gold so that they can be tested with this precious metal.

An analysis of the blood drop does not determine the type of cancer that a person has or the condition of the disease.

But this is the last step as scientists compete for blood tests to diagnose cancer and prevent people from having painful biopsies in which parts of their organs or skin are removed for tumors.

"This discovery could change the rules of the game in diagnosing cancer," says Dr. Abu Ali Ibn Sina, a researcher at the University of Queensland.

Blood tests to monitor cancer have become possible after scientists have realized the importance of DNA, which is released when cancer cells die and circulate in the blood.

Researchers have now discovered that patterns of DNA-related molecules that control genes that work intermittently are different on cancer cells.

"We certainly do not know yet about the magic solution to diagnose all types of cancer, but that sounds interesting because it is available and inexpensive," says Professor Matt Toro, co – author of the University of Queensland study.
