New blood test can spot cancer before it develops - Telegraph

Excerpt:

The test is the first to accurately recognise the signals sent out by a person’s immune system as cancerous.
Early research suggests that the signals can be detected up to five years before a tumour is spotted, giving doctors and patients a vital head start in treating the illness.

The test, developed by clinicians in Nottingham and Kansas over 15 years, is to be introduced in America later this month.

It has initially been devised to aid the detection lung cancer and is used alongside conventional screening.

Sounds very promising!

Indeed! Early diagnosis coupled with promising cancer vaccines to coerce an immune system into eradicating the cancerous cells... well... cancer wouldn't be a scary thing anymore. The proverbial cure for cancer seems almost likely.
