Blood test could replace invasive cancer biopsies

NCT ID NCT03019471

Summary

This study is testing whether cancer can be reliably detected through a simple blood draw instead of more invasive tissue biopsies. Researchers will collect blood samples from 40 adults newly diagnosed with breast, colorectal, lung, or brain cancer. They aim to measure cancer DNA in the blood to see if it's present in high enough amounts to accurately diagnose the disease.
