New study uses DNA tests to catch blood cancers before they start
NCT ID NCT02958462
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is looking at 2,000 people who have early warning signs of blood cancers or bone marrow failure. Researchers use a special genetic test (next generation sequencing) to find changes in cancer-related genes. The goal is to better understand who is at risk and to catch these conditions earlier, which could lead to faster treatment.
