A simple blood test that can detect cancer before any symptoms are noticeable has been developed by researchers in a breakthrough that could save thousands of lives.
The scientists, who unveiled the test at the British Science Festival in Swansea, compared the new test to a smoke detector, because it does not actually find cancer but changes to red blood cells that occur when cancer is present.
Discovering cancer early is a key factor in successful treatment.
If a tumour is caught in a single part of the body, there is a much better chance that it can be removed surgically.
