A new four-marker blood test detects pancreatic cancer with 91.9% accuracy across all stages and 87.5% accuracy for early-stage disease. The test combines two newly identified proteins with existing biomarkers and can differentiate cancer from non-cancerous conditions. While promising for pancreatic cancer, most cancers still cannot be reliably diagnosed with blood tests alone.
