CTCs can play a key role in improving metastatic breast cancer treatment
Posted: 21st January 2021
Circulating tumour cells (CTCs) can play a crucial role in improving treatments for metastatic breast cancer, scientists have found. The simple blood test can provide clinicians with a reliable predictor of whether a treatment will be successful in less than a month, an audience at the 2020 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium heard in December.

UK scientists have discovered that liquid biopsy tests are 99% accurate at picking up crucial genetic mutations in patients with returning breast cancer. Researchers studying the potential for liquid biopsies have concluded that circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) testing can provide an accurate genomic profile of advanced cancer, without the need for an invasive and potentially […]
