A blood test will help detect cancer 10 years before symptoms appear.. Predicted date of release of the test for mass sale - 5 years.

Swansea University researchers have found that mutations in red blood cells are the first sign of cancer and appear long before the symptoms of the disease appear..

Scientists have developed a simple test that detects mutations and can show the presence of cancer mutations in a few hours..

The first test tests were conducted on patients with esophageal cancer.. However, scientists are sure that testing for patients with other types of cancer will be equally successful.. The test can be compared with a mutation detector - as smoke does not always signal a fire, but is a clear sign of danger, so a mutation indicates that there are vulnerable areas in the body.
