“Our study shows that a simple blood test could give us an early and reliable indication of whether treatment is working for people with metastatic breast cancer. By tracking changes in tumour DNA in the blood just a few weeks into treatment, we can begin to identify who is likely to benefit and who may need a different approach sooner.”

What Prof Nicholas Turner has said

  • “This research looked at advanced breast cancer, but these tests could also work for early-stage breast cancers. The liquid biopsy has the potential to make treatment decisions faster, more personalised and ultimately more effective.”
