Could a blood test detect lung cancer early? A study published this week in the journal Clinical Cancer Research says the enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH 1) can be readily detected in the blood of patients with early non-small-cell lung cancer. The newly identified "biomarker" may offer a means of screening for lung cancer with fewer false positives than low-radiation CT scans, which have recently come into broad use to screen for the disease. lat.ms/1gFlsjf
