Scientists at Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center have developed a blood test that may be a stepping-stone to earlier cancer diagnosis. The team developed a method called targeted error correction sequencing. It can detect even very low amounts of CTDNA, which would most likely be found in people who have early-stage cancer. Experts say there are some early signs that can help patients to know of a possible problem and seek medical care early. Tricia Laursen joins the discussion via Skype from Westborough, Massachusetts. Laursen is the Executive Director of 15-40 Connection, a U.S. non-profit committed to teaching people how to detect cancer early to improve cancer survival rates.
