Researchers have developed a rapid, affordable, accurate test for breast cancer.
A small study assessing the test’s accuracy found that it provided the correct result 100% of the time.
Additionally, the results are often in less than an hour, according to reports at UPI.
The test, called CytoPAN, was designed for use in developing regions.
Patients there often face long wait times for a diagnosis which negatively impacts their prognosis.
However, if larger studies find that it’s accurate, the new test could be used worldwide.
The test would be a welcome alternative to the more expensive and invasive tests available now.
