Saliva tests at home better at identifying prostate cancer
The current blood test used for screening has limitations, including false positives and missing aggressive cancers.
The new saliva test showed promising results, producing fewer false positives and detecting a higher proportion of aggressive cancers.
Further research is needed to confirm the effectiveness of this saliva test in saving lives.
The preliminary findings were presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting in Chicago.
