Scientists are developing a revolutionary finger-pricking test for early brain tumour detection. Brain cancer affects 300,000+ people annually, with the unpredictability of recurrence posing a significant challenge. The Nottingham Trent University-led team is creating a lateral flow test to enable at-home monitoring, potentially extending lives and reducing the healthcare system’s burden. This simple test could detect tumour-specific molecules in the blood, providing early indications of recurrence. The hope is that it can be adapted for other cancer types, improving early detection and saving lives.
