Finding these abnormal DNA snippets in urine or saliva could mean a cancer is just beginning to take root. In a small pilot study of bladder-cancer patients, one screen that Sidransky developed picked up more than 90% of tumors--a hit rate that could revolutionize the early detection and treatment of bladder cancer...
