Hong Kong researchers say they are developing a more affordable and less invasive method to confirm cancer, with the aim of having fewer patients undergo painful biopsies.
Professor Allen Chan and his team at the Chinese University of Hong Kong have spent years developing blood tests to detect cancer with a technique known as liquid biopsy, and they are now working on a new method that is based on fragmentomics.
