Stomach cancer can be difficult to discover as it does not show symptoms in its early stage. Can you imagine that a single drop of blood may tell about the risk of developing stomach cancer?
Researchers have discovered a toxic factor called GroES, responsible for causing stomach cancer. A simple blood test can help to discover the positive or negative outcomes of ‘the toxic’ helpful in determining the risk of stomach cancer after going through endoscopic examination.
GroES can lead to stomach’s chronic inflammation under which cells break down and start bleeding. This kind of long term inflammation can lead to development of stomach cancer.
I think it to be a remarkable finding which can prove beneficial for early treatment of stomach cancer. Thus, people with symptoms of chronic inflammation in stomach need to go for simple blood test to find out infections of GroES if any.
