By further analysing the substances, the test detected 99 percent of pancreatic cancer cases, 95 percent of breast cancer and 80 percent of oral cancer cases among those taking part, it said.3 ?8 Q7 L r) ^, g) r

"The survival rates of pancreatic cancer and oral cancer are especially low, because they don't show clear symptoms in early stages, which often delays spotting of the illness," the statement said.- o/ u* Q7 H" o; h0 d6 G( R

"We would like to apply this technology not only to cancer cases but also other illnesses as well," he said. |
