you can check with A simple Blood Test , for More Than 50 types of cancer, which they say often before any signs or symptoms scientists.

It might help the diagnosis of tumors early, when treating them easier and heal ideally, experts hope.

More Than 99% of positive results are correct, says The Team , but it will be decisive, don't check, you miss it, cases, and a false sense of security.

Doctors use it in studies with patients are needed, they say.

the study suggests, it is better to limit the detection of advanced disease, rather than the beginnings of cancer, how useful it is.

The Test looks for telltale chemical changes That the bits of the genetic Code - cell-free-Dna - the leak of tumors in the bloodstream.

the researchers from The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School , the collaboration with British colleagues from The Francis Crick Institute and University College, London, tested More Than 4,000 samples of patients, Some with and Some without cancer.

More Than 50 types of cancer, such as colon, lung and ovarian cancer, were included.

And in 96% of The Samples , The Test accurately identified The Type of cancer.

The study is funded by the Grail, the Creator, the testing of The Blood .

One of The Lead researchers, Prof Geoff Oxnard, said: "to have This Blood Test all The Features seems to be needed to be used, on a population scale, as a multi-cancer screening test.

"Everyone asks, when a test such as this is ready to use.

"Based on this successful clinical validation in thousands of patients, The Test has now started, actually, is limited to clinical studies.

"But before this Blood Test is routinely applied, we will probably need to see the results from clinical studies such as this, in order to understand more fully, The Test -performance.

"Undoubtedly has to be The Field quickly in motion and it makes us confident, That The Blood -based cancer screening is a reality. "

Cancer Research UK early detection of conductor Dr. David Crosby said: "the detection of cancer in its earliest stage, when they are less aggressive and more treatable, has enormous potential to save lives, and we urgently need tech innovations, the implement can turn this potential into reality.

"Although this test is still in an early stage of development, the first results are encouraging.

"And if The Test can be fine-tuned to catch more efficiently be cancer in its earliest stage, it could become an Instrument for the early detection.

"But more research is needed to improve in order to catch The Test 's ability to early cancer, and we still need to explore how the scenario could work in a real cancer-screening. "
