Can a Blood Test Identify Cancer? 🩸| Liquid Biopsies | That Cancer Conversation

What if a simple blood test could spot cancer earlier than ever before? In this episode, we dive into the ground-breaking world of liquid biopsies - innovative blood tests that can detect tiny traces of tumour DNA circulating in the bloodstream. We’re joined by Professor Nitzan Rosenfeld, Director of Barts Cancer Institute at Queen Mary University of London, a global pioneer in liquid biopsy research. He explains how fragments of tumour DNA enter our blood, what they reveal about cancer, and how these tests could transform early detection, screening and personalised cancer treatment across the NHS and beyond. What you’ll learn in this episode: • How tiny molecular clues about our health end up circulating in the blood • What circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) can tell us about cancers elsewhere in the body • Different types of liquid biopsy tests, from diagnosis and personalised treatment to MRD (minimal residual disease) monitoring • Why the NHS-Galleri trial is one of the most ambitious cancer screening studies ever, using a single blood test to detect more than 50 cancer types - you can read more about it on the NHS website: https://www.nhs-galleri.org/ • How blood tests could reveal future health risks and reshape early cancer detection in the UK and worldwide Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated with new episodes 🔔 Liquid biopsy, blood test for cancer, early cancer detection, ctDNA, cancer screening UK, NHS GALLERI trial, Barts Cancer Institute, Cancer Research UK, oncology research, cancer diagnosis, personalised cancer care, tumour DNA, cancer science podcast, UK medical research, cancer detection technology. #cancerawareness #earlydetection #cancerresearch #bloodtests #liquidbiopsy #cancerscreening #medicalscience #healtheducation #biotechinnovation #healthpodcast #sciencepodcast #medicalpodcast #futureofmedicine #oncology #cancerprevention #precisionmedicine
