36、,detect a tumor（肿瘤）well before it could be found by touch,symptoms or imaging.Blood tests could avoid the need for surgeons to cut tissue samples and make it possible to reveal cancer hiding inplaces needles and scalpels cannot safely reach.They could also determine what type of cancer is taking roo

37、t to helpdoctors decide what treatment might work best to destroy it.Liquid biopsies are not yet in hand,because it is hard to find definitive cancer signals in a tube of blood,butprogress in recent years has been impressive.Last year the journal Science published the first big prospective studyof a

38、 liquid biopsy for DNA and proteins from multiple types of cancers.Though far from perfect,the blood test calledCancerSEEK found 26 tumors that had not been discovered with conventional screenings.Liquid biopsies can rely on a variety of biomarkers in addition to tumor DNA and proteins,such as free-

39、floatingcancer cells themselves.But what makes the search difficult,Ana Robles,a cancer biologist of the National CancerInstitute,explains,is that“if you have an early-stage cancer or certain types of cancer,there might not be a lot oftumor DNA,“and tests might miss it.The ideal blood test will be b
