Ilyas Sahin: Good News in Cancer Screening

Ilyas Sahin, Medical Oncologist at Massachusetts General Hospital, shared a post on X:

“Good news in cancer screening!!!

A new blood test detects early-stage colorectal cancer with 95% accuracy by analyzing RNA modifications—a more stable and sensitive marker than RNA or DNA levels alone.

In a study of 27 CRC patients (including stage 0–I) and 36 matched controls, it captured changes in gut microbial RNA triggered by tumor-related inflammation. Unlike current tests, it reliably detects even the earliest stages.

If validated in larger studies, this approach could become a powerful tool for non-invasive early cancer detection.”
