A groundbreaking test that detects prostate cancer using dried blood samples has been developed, promising results in just 15 minutes. The test works by identifying crystal-like formations in dehydrated blood, potentially revolutionizing the diagnosis of prostate cancer, the most common form of cancer among men.
Early trials indicate a 90% accuracy rate, marking a significant advancement in prostate cancer detection. The new test uses novel polarisation-based image reconstruction to analyze blood protein structures, offering a quicker and potentially more reliable alternative to current methods like PSA tests and biopsies.
Prostate cancer, a leading cause of death among men in Nigeria, affects thousands each year, but early detection and treatment can dramatically improve outcomes.
