Cancer testing to become cheaper and less painful
- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,April 04 2019]
In the modern days cancer is the second largest killer disease in the world after heart disease and seems to rampant currently. Traditionally cancer tests are made through invasive procedures such as endoscopies or colonoscopies and imaging procedures like MRI scans and ultra sound scans.
Most of these procedures are uncomfortable and sometimes painful to the patients and more importantly quite expensive. Researches are going on now to detect cancer and that too at early stages through non-invasive procedures like blood, urine and saliva tests. If this initiative comes good then cancer tests will become very cheap and even the poorest can afford as well.
