Now just 5 ml of blood can be used to detect breast cancer in women. Developers of a new test said it can detect cancer not only in advanced stages but even at stage 0, where the cancer has grown but not spread yet. 

Breast cancer is the most common cancer found in women and one needs to undergo mammography and MRI tests for detection. However, it is generally detected at a later stage in India. But, Datar Cancer Genetics developed a blood test that can detect circulating tumour cells and clusters specific to breast cancer with very high accuracy.
