One of the biggest diseases of our time cancer One of the important issues in the fight against this is finding ways to prevent recurrence of the disease. After cancerous structures are removed, the remaining fragmented structures can form cancer-causing tissues. DNAs can wear it. On the other hand, detecting these structures is generally quite difficult.

The newly developed ultra-sensitive blood test can detect the disease in patients who have been treated for breast cancer. whether he will come back It can be detected with 100 percent accuracy. So the disease can be prevented by starting treatment early. Experts use this method “incredibly exciting” He described it as.

Every year, 685 thousand women become victims of breast cancer

in 2020 2.26 million women While breast cancer was diagnosed in the same year, 685 thousand women worldwide died from this disease. The research team from the London Institute of Cancer Research tested the method they developed on 78 patients with different types of breast cancer at different stages.

The method called liquid biopsy examined 1,800 DNA mutations released in the patients’ blood. Tumor DNA was found circulating in the blood in eleven women, and all of these women later developed cancer again. The earliest detection is with a blood test. 41 months ago The diagnosis later turned into a disease.

The research is still in its early stages and it is not known when it will be widely available.
