From ABC News (Australia)/AFP:

Scientists have developed a nanosensor for the quick detection of cancers through a simple blood test.

A technique developed at Yale University in the United States allows scientists to "detect tiny amounts of cancer biomarkers in a small volume of whole blood in just 20 minutes," according to the report in the journal Nature Nanotechnology.
