New screening blood test for 50 cancers
This is still at the trial phase, but the results are very promising. It's a simple blood test that can screen for cancers that currently have no early detection, like stomach, ovarian, pancreatic, and bowel, and potentially catch them at stage 1 when they're easily treatable.
My uninformed guess is that it would take at least 5 more years to get into general use (likely longer), but it's a bright ray of hope for the people who come after us.

That would be wonderful.
That’s wonderful! I just hope that the funding cut is not affecting the progress. Thank you for the good news!
