Description
Kim and a large team test two blood proteins as early flags for liver cancer in twenty twenty-five. The standard blood flag misses many cases, so better tests are needed. Their study found both proteins drop in liver cancer tissue and blood. Low levels tied to shorter survival in patient data.
In lab tests, the pair flagged cancer, even early stage, more truly than the standard marker. Blood assays confirmed the drop in patients. Low protein levels also linked to more suppressor immune cells near tumors. The team pitches the pair as painless blood tests for screening. More checks are owed before clinic use, they note.
