Simple blood test could predict breast cancer return

NCT ID NCT07211178

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is looking at whether a simple blood test can find tiny bits of cancer DNA left in the body after breast cancer treatment. These leftover cells, called minimal residual disease (MRD), can sometimes cause the cancer to come back. The study will follow 900 breast cancer patients over time to see if the test results can predict recurrence and help doctors make better treatment decisions.
