    New Blood Test Finds Cancer Before Symptoms Start

    Researchers say they have taken a big step towards developing a test that can tell people if they have cancer long before the first symptoms show up.

    Teenager Develops Bra That Helps Detect Breast Cancer Early

    18-year-old Julian Rios Cantu almost lost his mom to breast cancer. That inspired him to invent EVA, a smart bra that helps women detect breast cancer early.
