Comment on Toshiba device tests cancer types from a drop of bloodparent

Comments

The signal to noise ratio is still devastatingly bad.

Most cancers aren't throwing large amounts of detectable crap into your bloodstream. If they were, people would be doing routine cancer tests when you do things like cholesterol screening.

The fact that nobody can do this with vials makes me suspicious of being able to do this with drops.
