A blood test that can detect early stages of breast cancer in patients with 99 per cent accuracy will cost Rs 6000 in India. Those who test positive can proceed with screening and treatment.
The findings, published in the journal Blood Advances, indicated that five proteins (resistin, lipocalin-2, HGF, IL-8, and G-CSF) that are associated with neutrophils, a type of white blood cell, were elevated in the Covid-19 patients who later became critically ill.
Scientists have developed a rapid blood test that can predict within a day of hospitalisation which patients with COVID-19 are at the highest risk of severe complications or death, an advance that may help identify those who may best benefit from specific investigational treatments.
Scientists have discovered that testing the levels of certain proteins in blood samples can predict whether a person at risk of psychosis is likely to develop a psychotic disorder years later.
Doctors can examine the blood of COVID-19 patients to identify those at greatest risk of severe illness and to pinpoint those most likely to need a ventilator, according to researchers, including one of Indian-origin.
The cancer blood test is very simple to set up and perform without requiring extensive training. Therefore, it can be used by anyone.
This new breakthrough blood test can detect blood cancer five years earlier, making the treatment easier.
A recent study has devised a multi-protein biomarker blood test to detect breast cancer without the need of biopsy. It reduces the need of biopsy by up to 67%.
The 3HCare.in has collaborated with over 300 laboratories and helps the patient choose the best one and desired time for the test.
