- Unusual Tumor Cells May Be Overlooked Factors in Advanced Breast CancerMarch 11, 2026
An enigmatic type of circulating tumor cell called a dual-positive cell is associated with shorter survival time in patients with advanced breast cancer, according to a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine.
- Switch to Experimental Drug after Liquid Biopsy Detection of Breast Cancer Recurrence Improves OutcomesJune 2, 2025
A large prospective, randomized clinical trial in patients with advanced breast cancer has found that the use of liquid biopsy blood tests for early detection of a treatment-resistance mutation, followed by a switch to a new type of treatment, substantially extends the period of tumor control compared to standard care.
- Weill Cornell Medicine Receives Grant for Blood Test to Diagnose Breast CancerJanuary 3, 2024
