Proteomics nails near perfect results for endometriosis blood test
This is fucking excellent news. Researchers in Australia have managed to achieve near perfect results for a blood test that can detect endometriosis.
Until now endometriosis has only been diagnosable through invasive abdominal surgery.
This is an amazing game changer.
Rarely is a potential medical advancement so reclvolutionary, but this actually would be. If it was to actually come to fruition, we’d be looking at a way to make the dismissal of women’s pain much less likely. Women across the world could be given answers in a non-invasive way, research would be that much easier to conduct, measure and apply to real-world applications. It would truly change EVERYTHING.
Surgeries would actually be targeted instead of simply exploring (often with mixed results) and hundreds if not thousands of doctors hours could be freed up too.
