مستخلص: Urine tests may be a significant advancement in diagnosing cancer, according to emerging science. Urine tests, also known as liquid biopsies, offer a convenient, pain-free, and cost-effective way to detect hard-to-detect cancers. While urine tests have been used for centuries to detect various health conditions, including diabetes and kidney conditions, they are now being explored for their potential in detecting cancer biomarkers. Researchers are investigating urine tests for prostate cancer, head and neck cancer caused by human papillomavirus, and pancreatic cancer. However, more research is needed to develop tests for mass adoption and to determine which substances in urine predict specific cancers. [Extracted from the article]
