🩸 The test could be used to identify those people who need further treatment after surgery to remove a tumour and those who don’t, scientists say BawdenTom reports
which funded the research, added: “A blood test that reads circulating tumour DNA could let doctors track someone’s cancer in real time, allowing them to personalise treatments to that patient.
“Analysis of ctDNA would give us a fuller picture of how the tumour is changing over the course of the patient’s disease using minimally invasive blood tests. It would allow doctors to treat people more proactively, taking swift action to change a treatment plan that’s not working,” he said. But research into the blood test has shown that it works and scientists elsewhere are developing “tumour recurrence” blood tests along similar lines that may be quicker and easy to carry out – although tests will need to be done on their effectiveness.
Professor Swanton, based at the Francis Crick Institute in London, UCL and also Cancer Research UK’s chief clinician, said: “By looking at the tumour in its entirety, we can observe how these cell populations interact and even compete with one another, which is helping us to glean valuable insights into the likelihood that a tumour will return and when this might happen.
