An estimated 1.3 million people die from lung cancer every year. Most of these deaths are due to the fact that this cancer is often detected during the advanced stages. A simple blood test may change all that. A new study suggests that a specific genetic profile for lung cancer can be detected in the blood with 88 percent accuracy.
