This is my absolute favorite thing right now. This blood test has the potential to save countless lives should it be proven effective. I keep posting articles about it on the lung blog because I think it is important for people to know that there are significant research projects that are being developed in the screening arena. It is also vital that foundations such as ours receive support from both the corporate sector and general population so that we can continue in this fight against the deadliest of all cancers.
