This is very interesting news. Previously, people would go to the ER complaining of chest pain, but since there were no elevated enzymes, they'd be sent home. Now, this blood test can tell if someone is in imminent danger. http://healthland.time.com/2012/03/22/scientists-devise-a-blood-test-to-predict-heart-attack/

It also notes, "The researchers were able to draw on work from the cancer field, where efforts to identify tumor cells that break off from growths and enter the bloodstream are helping to diagnose cancers earlier."
