The test, which measures the biomarker microRNA-371a-3P, predicts the presence of testicular cancer cells with 90% accuracy. It is currently available to UC San Diego Health patients diagnosed with testicular cancer and will be expanding to accept external samples from other medical centers worldwide later this year.

UC San Diego Health is the first health system in the country to offer a new blood test for testicular cancer

I remember seeing about the test a little under 10 years ago 1 and figured it to be a cool advancement in non-intrusive cancer checks. Prostate 2 and colon cancer 3 also have been seeing good work done too.
