NEW Q&A: EARLY DETECTION RESEARCH AT QUEEN’S UNIVERSITY
In a new Q&A, Dr. Christopher Mueller and PhD student Sydney Shepherd from Queen’s University share their work on mDETECT, a simple blood test being studied to help find ovarian cancer sooner.
They explain how the test works, who it may help, how it differs from CA-125, and why patient partners are playing an important role in shaping the research. The conversation also highlights how this test could support future screening for people at higher risk.
