Jorge Soto: The future of early cancer detection?

The future of early cancer detection?

Jorge Soto debuts a revolutionary test for early cancer detection using just a blood sample, leveraging microRNA patterns.

The prototype, promising a seismic shift in cancer diagnostics, champions early detection as a key to effective treatment.

MicroRNAs, tiny molecules regulating gene expression, offer a promising non-invasive cancer detection method via blood tests.
