Scientists have identified warning signals in the blood that can predict lung cancer more than five years before the disease is diagnosed, offering a potential breakthrough in the fight against one of India's deadliest cancers, where most cases are detected at an advanced stage, reported TOI.
The findings come at a time when lung cancer cases in India are projected to increase from around 63,700 in 2015 to more than 81,000 by 2025. Nearly 80-85% of patients are diagnosed only after the disease has progressed significantly, limiting treatment options and survival outcomes.
