The problem of early detection of cancer is one of the key in oncology. Detection of tumors in the early stages allows you to start treatment in a timely manner and prevent the progression of the disease.

The research team led by Minoru Sakairi analyzed samples taken from 15 patients with breast cancer, 15 patients with colorectal cancer and 15 healthy participants in the experiment. They were able to detect about 10 biomarkers associated with these oncological diseases, the presence of which made it possible to correctly diagnose the presence of a tumor.
