There’s a new blood test that screen for one of the most deadly diseases of our time. Even better?
It can be used for EARLY DETECTION. Isn’t this something we’ve all been waiting for!? It isn’t yet covered by the classical insurance and it comes with a price tag (around 1000 Euros). But it might be something you’d like to do for yourself or a loved one. Because early detection can be the difference between life and death. This new blood test can detect cancer long before any other test currently can. It works by checking for DNA fragments shed by tumor cells. In fact, it’s already being used on certain cancer patients to help guide their treatment and check for recurrence. But it has never been used on otherwise healthy patients for an early detection. Now, with advances in DNA sequencing and data analysis, companies are working hard to commercialize the test. In fact, one organization is already recommending it for common sites that don’t currently have standard screening methods like the pancreas and ovaries. On one hand, this is exciting stuff, and it is still a long, large experiment to determinate the total test viability for other cancers. On the other hand those who have the means will be the ones who fund Big Pharma and the experiment with their tax Euros. But you have to make the decision; to pay for healthcare that fits with your financial status.
