flag New blood tests show promise in improving treatment and control of metastatic breast cancer, study finds.

flag New research shows that "liquid biopsies," blood tests detecting tumor cells and DNA, can improve treatment of metastatic breast cancer, keeping tumors under control for over a year. flag Patients who changed treatment based on these tests were twice as likely to control their tumors. flag The tests can detect mutations up to nine months earlier than imaging, potentially allowing for earlier, more effective treatments. flag The study used AstraZeneca's experimental drug, camizestrant, which cut the risk of cancer progression or death by half, though it is not yet FDA-approved.
