Listen "Cancer blood tests: how far away are we?"
Episode Synopsis
Liquid biopsies are tests that look for traces of cancer in bodily fluids like blood, urine and saliva.The hope is these non-invasive biopsies become more widespread to pick up and and track cancer sooner.At the moment applications are limited – while they’re being used in existing cancer cases, we’re far off when it comes to screening.Guest/sProfessor Sarah-Jane Dawson, clinician-scientist at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and Centre for Cancer Research University of Melbourne
