Blood test breakthrough could replace scans for NF1 tumor tracking

NCT ID NCT05238909

Summary

This study aims to find signals in the blood that can tell doctors about tumor growth in people with Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Researchers will study 200 people with NF1, using blood tests and full-body MRI scans to see if specific blood markers match the size and number of tumors. The goal is to develop a simpler blood test to monitor tumors, reducing the need for frequent, expensive MRI scans.
