With the help of a new technique created by Scottish scientists, doctors will have the opportunity to quickly check every patient with complaints of migraines and memory problems, according to Pannochka, an online publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old.. net After that, those patients in whom a simple blood test reveals a high risk of cancer will be referred for more thorough diagnostics.

Diagnosing brain cancer is a difficult task.. The problem lies in the fact that his symptoms, such as headache or memory problems, are not specific.. Most cases of brain oncology are diagnosed already in the last stages, when treatment no longer helps and the disease is fatal..

Researchers from the University of Strathclyde have proposed a new approach to help solve this problem.. They have developed a method for liquid biopsy to determine the fragments of tumor DNA dissolved in the blood.. A specific algorithm is responsible for sample analysis.

Of course, even such an accurate blood test is not enough to make an accurate diagnosis.. But it will help identify patients with brain cancer risks in order to send them for a detailed examination and prevent the development of the disease..
