Unscramble the Blue Letters


Artificial intelligence-based data analysis and the mitzarouiiantin of sseonr technologies are already starting to make monitoring of the individual health status possible. Measuring cardiometabolic parameters by devices like this or the detection of circulating tumor DNA in your bloodstream early on after cancer disease oesnt are only two examples for such monitoring technologies.

Take cnecar. One of the biggest pelrombs in certain oncological diseases is that a large number of patients is dsigenoad too late to allow them to be cured, although the drugs and treatments that could pelttlnioay have cured them are already existing today, if the disease had only been detected earlier. New technologies allow now, based on a few mllrilieits of blood, to detect the presence of clucnirtiag toumr DNA and thus, the presence of cancer, early on in a really convenient manner. The icmapt that this early-stage detection can have may be dramatic. The five-year survival rate for non-small cell lung cancer when diagnosed at stage one, which is early, is 49 precent. The same, when diagnosed at stage four, which is late, is below one percent. Being potentially able to pnevret a large number of dathes by something as simple as a blood test for circulating tumor DNA could make certain cancer types a manageable disease, as disease onset can be detected earlier and positive treatment outcomes can likely be increased.

Original Text


Artificial intelligence-based data analysis and the miniaturization of sensor technologies are already starting to make monitoring of the individual health status possible. Measuring cardiometabolic parameters by devices like this or the detection of circulating tumor DNA in your bloodstream early on after cancer disease onset are only two examples for such monitoring technologies.

Take cancer. One of the biggest problems in certain oncological diseases is that a large number of patients is diagnosed too late to allow them to be cured, although the drugs and treatments that could potentially have cured them are already existing today, if the disease had only been detected earlier. New technologies allow now, based on a few milliliters of blood, to detect the presence of circulating tumor DNA and thus, the presence of cancer, early on in a really convenient manner. The impact that this early-stage detection can have may be dramatic. The five-year survival rate for non-small cell lung cancer when diagnosed at stage one, which is early, is 49 percent. The same, when diagnosed at stage four, which is late, is below one percent. Being potentially able to prevent a large number of deaths by something as simple as a blood test for circulating tumor DNA could make certain cancer types a manageable disease, as disease onset can be detected earlier and positive treatment outcomes can likely be increased.
