Antes del tumor: detectan en sangre señales que anticipan el cáncer de pulmón

A groundbreaking study has identified a unique set of 14 proteins in the blood that can predict the risk of lung cancer more than five years before a formal diagnosis, by detecting early inflammatory processes in the lungs. This discovery could revolutionize early cancer detection, offering a non-invasive method to identify those at risk and potentially save countless lives by enabling earlier, more effective interventions. The significance lies in the potential to drastically improve survival rates and reduce the burden of late-stage cancer diagnoses.
