Breakthrough blood test finds cancer before a tumor forms

An estimated two million Americans will be diagnosed with some variety of cancer this year, according to the American Cancer Society. That report comes after over 600-thousand people died from cancer in 2024. Early detection is one of the key contributors to combating cancer and one group claims to have developed a new blood test that can diagnose hundreds of forms of cancer before a tumor ever forms. WGCU’s Teddy Byrne spoke with Tzar Labs CEO Ashish Tripathi to learn more about this breakthrough test.
