  • Scientists found blood markers that can clearly identify IBC.
  • These markers may help doctors detect the cancer earlier.
  • The test uses a special RNA enzyme in blood samples.
  • The enzyme reads complex and broken RNA pieces from tumors.
  • IBC blood shows more noncoding RNAs and high white cells.
  • Healthy blood mostly contains mRNA fragments instead.
  • These differences appear in tumors, blood cells, and plasma.
  • Researchers hope simple blood tests will improve treatment.
