At the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, scientists have combined the ability to detect cancer DNA in the blood with genome sequencing technology in a test. This test could be used to screen for cancers, monitor cancer patients for recurrence and find residual cancer left after surgery. "This approach uses the power of genome sequencing to detect circulating tumor DNA in the blood, providing a sensitive method that can be used to detect and monitor ...Sunday, 2 December 2012
