🔬 Breakthrough Non-Invasive Oral Cancer Test Developed: Scientists have created a new test that can accurately detect early-stage oral cancer using a simple mouth swab. Results are available within an hour, offering a rapid and painless alternative to painful biopsies.

⏱️ High Accuracy Achieved: The new quantitative Malignancy Index Diagnostic System (qMIDS) test demonstrated an overall accuracy of 95.5% in trials with 545 patients, with false positive and negative rates below 5%.

👍 Revolutionary Patient Monitoring: This brush swab test allows for regular, systematic monitoring of patients with potentially pre-malignant lesions, enabling earlier cancer detection and improved patient outcomes.

✅ Future Availability: Researchers are working to commercialize the qMIDS test, with plans for clinical use within the next two years.

An FDA advisory committee has recommended Galleri for approval, an early detection blood test designed to look for several cancers at once. It can flag a possible cancer signal, pointing doctors towards the part of the body where it most likely came from.

🔵 The Galleri blood test can detect signals from over 50 types of cancer, potentially identifying hidden diseases early. A recent NHS-Galleri trial involving 142,000 patients found it caught four times more cancers than current UK screenings.

🩺 Valerie Caro, 58, credits the Galleri test with saving her life after it detected stage 2 gallbladder cancer in June 2022, which she had no symptoms of.

🏥 Richard Porter, 66, had his HPV-related tonsil cancer found in May 2024, eight months after the Galleri test flagged a cancer signal.

🔬 The FDA advisory committee recommended Galleri for approval on September 23, but the agency has not yet decided on widespread US use.
