The theory is that tiny fragments of a tumor break away and circulate in the blood — and it is these that the new test is trying to capture. Although similar technology currently exists, it is only able to trap a minute number of cells. But new technology is being developed that is aimed at capturing thousands and being able to detail treatment for that specific cancer right in the lab before subjecting a person to treatment. We are still not there yet, but initial discussions about cancer treatment using this new type of testing include words like “breakthrough” and “revolutionalize.�...

Her sister went to a hospital specialized in cancer yet Heather never mentions that the hospital found any advanced breast cancer stages.   Only when her sister got re-admitted in the ER, Heather talks about the cancer having spread to the liver.   Does this mean that when people get admitted to hospital looking yellow and having a history of cancer, nobody bot...

In a comprehensive review of breast cancer research published today, 56 of the UK’s most influential breast cancer experts have identified the key research gaps and priorities for the greatest potential impact on patients. Breast cancer treatment has improved over the past few decades and led to increased survival rates and better quality of life, the report highlights. However over 44,000 women in the UK are diagnosed with breast cancer each year and around 12,500 will die. Unfortunately, not enough is known about why treatments don’t work for some patients or why brea...
