'Game-changing' urine tests could detect breast cancer, endometriosis and PCOS

Description

"Game-changing" tests are being developed that could detect breast cancers and endometriosis at home.

Researchers said that within the next year they hope to have a prototype kit to detect early stage breast cancer using a lateral flow urine sample.

Prof Luis Mur, from Aberystwyth University, said key changes can be identified in a urine sample to detect breast cancer "with a high degree of accuracy" and new at-home tests are being made to complement existing diagnostic tools.
