3 . Cancer is a leading cause of death around the world. When it comes to cancer, the sooner you know you have it, the better your chances of surviving will be. A new blood test could change the way doctors and researchers find cancer in patients.

Scientists at the University of Swansea in Wales came up with the idea. Gareth Jenkins is a professor at the university. He says he and his team did not look for cancer. They instead looked for the collateral damage, the damage left by the disease. In this case, it was mutated（突变的）red blood cells（细胞）-a by-product of the cancer developing.

The researchers used normal laboratory tools to perform the tests. The tools look for changes in millions of red blood cells. Those mutated cells don’t have a surface protein that healthy cells normally have. “The number of mutated red blood cells in a healthy person is around 5 or so per million. The number increases in cancer patients-they go up to 40 or 50 on average,” says Jenkins.

The researchers tested blood from about 300 people, all of whom have cancer of the esophagus （食道）, Patients with this kind of cancer have high levels of mutated red blood cells. Jenkins says that at this point he is not sure if other cancers would produce similar results.

The hope is that the new test could one day become part of commonly used medical methods. The professor says that using a series of tests will be the best way to find out if a person has cancer. “A series of tests, based on different principles looking at blood, breath and etc. will be the best way of getting a good view of whether someone might or might not have cancer.” These new methods could save millions of lives.
