Based on modeling they performed, they reported the new tool could reduce the estimated proportion of undiagnosed cases of pancreatic, gastric and colorectal cancers by about 20% to 50% if it was used for population- level cancer screening in rural China. With further development, it could theoretically be used for the early detection of other types of cancer or for other diseases, or to monitor the progression of disease in patients who have already been diagnosed, he said. Despite being some of the world's deadliest cancers, pancreatic, colorectal and gastric cancers currently have no 3 standalone blood tests that are accurate enough to diagnose the diseases on their own. Screening for these blood biomarkers has been proposed as a potential way to diagnose cancer at earlier stages of the disease, when survival rates are higher and patients may have no telltale symptoms. In preliminary experiments, the tool was able to distinguish between patients with diagnosed pancreatic, gastric or colorectal cancer and people without cancer — and the analysis took just minutes. Michael Cecchini, co-director of the colorectal program at the Center for Gastrointestinal Cancers at the Yale Cancer Center who was not involved in the research, told Live Science in an email. In the new study, the researchers ran several proof-of-concept tests that demonstrated the tool could accurately differentiate between blood donors with cancer versus those without it. Because of the ease of storing dried blood, "this could help democratize the availability of cancer early detection testing across the world," Kuang told Live Science in an email. By 2030, scientists estimate that around 75% of cancer deaths will occur in low- and middle-income countries, where people face disproportionately-high barriers to medical care.
