A new blood test that detects wayward cancer cells in the blood may predict future recurrences.
A simple blood test can help predict the recurrence of breast cancer, a new study has found. The question is: Will it save lives?
The test detects cancer cells in the blood that have broken free from a tumor in the breast, like seeds that have fallen from a tree.
"The greater the number of seeds you sow, the greater the chance they'll take hold and grow," said study author Dr. Anthony Lucci, a surgical oncologist at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.
