Scientists have developed a simple blood test that can predict how well people with breast cancer will respond to specific treatments, potentially allowing doctors to tailor therapy much earlier. The test, created by researchers at the Institute of Cancer Research, measures circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) in the blood – tiny fragments of cancer DNA released by tumours. By analysing blood samples from 167 patients with advanced breast cancer before treatment and again after four weeks, researchers found a strong link between ctDNA levels and how well treatments worked. Patients with low or undetectable ctDNA levels at the start of treatment,…
