A simple blood or urine test to detect early cancer activity; fibroblastic growth factor (FGF) is a protein that is released from some cells and stimulates new blood vessels, an action necessary to feed tumors; scientists have now detected elevated levels of FGF in the urine of cancer patients; in general, the more FGF released, the bigger the tumor's blood supply and the greater the risk of metastasis
