Blood testing break through!

The Brain Tumour Research Centre of Excellence at Imperial College London and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust has published a ground-breaking clinical study which demonstrates that high-grade brain tumours can be accurately detected by a simple blood test.

Described as a “liquid biopsy”, the test, believed to be a world-first, could reduce the need for invasive and risky surgery currently needed to diagnose some brain tumours.
