Researchers in Australia have developed a 10-minute test that can detect the presence of cancer cells anywhere in the human body, according to a newly published study

Very promising news!!!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing the story. Hopefully they'll continue with testing and soon allow it to be used.
I would have thought cancer research and treatment would be farther along now. Back when my dad was fighting in 2006 they were using stem cells in clinical trials that were favorable. My dad would have been the 2nd person to be treated had his cancer not spread.

Great news...but...call me a conspiracy theorist if you want but I envision a long, hard fight in the US by medical specialists, insurance bleeders, etc. who won't want a simple inexpensive test to be utilized and reject it. Why??? - because they'd rather order multiple tests, re-tests, follow up tests, MRI's, etc. in order to "spread the wealth" to themselves and their cohorts billing and monetarily capitalizing as much as they can.

I've NEVER heard anyone here (Australia) use that term other than Steve Irwin. He was the ONLY one. And, it isn't Australian anyway but rather a once-upon-a-time English term. I doubt that the English use it any more ...sorta like the now defunct 'Gee Whiz" or 'Jeepers' by 'typical Americans'. Just thought I'd throw that in.

Yeah.
I was going for the stereotype.
I thought about working 'mate' and 'shrimp on the barbie' in, and maybe a reference to Foster's, but that just seemed like overkill.
On the English origin, I recently ran across the term used as such (I don't recall where - maybe an episode of Downton Abbey?) and was surprised. When I first heard it years ago (Irwin, of course) I initially thought it was just something that he'd made up.

Amazing what stories get a slew of view and responses, but a story as important as this, and hardly any interest!

Stuff like this gets in the news all the time, and then we NEVER HEAR about it again! So, people no longer believe most of it, or are very jaded about them. I'll say in my case of those various stories over the years, it's either phony, OR "somebody" in the US suppresses the test, cure, etc, so it never gets released. OR it gets released but costs $1 million, and insurance companies won't cover it.

At least you own up to being a conspiracy theorist.
I don't know one single person in a health care field that wouldn't love to see improvements in cancer detection and treatment. I long for the day that cancer is a thing of the past.
Johns Hopkins is doing some interesting work: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news...t-cancer-types
