Researchers at Tel Aviv University have reportedly developed a low-cost blood test that uses light to detect lung cancer by analyzing cell-free DNA. In early results from a study of 103 participants, the test successfully distinguished lung cancer patients from healthy subjects with high accuracy. Larger clinical trials are now underway in Israel and Europe to evaluate its potential for early diagnosis and monitoring treatment response.
