Blood Test May One Day Predict Breast Cancer Relapse; Circulating Tumor DNA Analysis Spots Stray Cells Months before Scans Detect Recurrence, Researchers SayReinberg, Steven
June 5, 2012 --A simple blood test can help predict the recurrence ofbreast cancer, a new study has found. The question is: Will it save lives? The test detects cancer cells in the blood that have broken free from a tumor in the breast, like seeds that have fallen fr...
The test could help doctors to identify women at high risk of the disease allowing them to take preventive medicines and switch to healthier lifestyles. Researchers have identified a 'genetic switch', carried by one in five women, that doubles their risk of developing breast cancer. Read the...

t the only way to test for an increased risk of breast cancer. For example, researchers at University College London are developing a blood test that will look for a certain ‘epigenetic signature’. Epigentics is the study of the surrounds of the DNA – where often in cancer cases the ...
“We’ve found something that we can detect before breast cancer develops, so as a risk marker, this is really what we want to find.” People with a high level of abnormalities are at high risk.Humphrys asked, “So you’re going to be able, potentially, fairly soon, to be able to...
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women, accounting for about 270,000 cases a year. The average woman has about a 12% chance of developing breast cancer.
A blood test that detects early changes in circulating tumor DNA may provide an earlier indication of whether patients with hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancer are responding to palbociclib (Ibrance).
Cytokine signaling responsiveness measured through a novel blood test may be a key determinant of intratumoral immunosuppressive potential and clinical outcome among patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer, according to study results published in Nat
