A simple test to measure tumor cells circulating in the blood could make it easier to tell which breast cancer patients are at greatest risk of their cancer returning after treatment, a German researcher said on Monday.

A blood test has been developed which counts cancer cells in the advanced breast cancer patientâs blood stream and tells whether the treatment is successful.

Scientists have identified a way of tackling hard-to-treat breast cancers.

A genetic test for patients with early breast cancer can identify that only some of them will be helped by chemotherapy, but for those women the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks, researchers said on Friday.

Scientists have discovered a new  cancer-causing gene that they believe could be a molecular  master switch for the disease.

A new technology that counts cancer cells in the blood helps predict the success of breast cancer treatments more quickly and more reliably than established methods, researchers reported.

Women with early-stage breast cancer may soon get another gene test to help predict whether they are likely to have a recurrence in five to 10 years, information that could influence how aggressively the initial tumor is treated.

THURSDAY, Aug. 19 (HealthDayNews) -- A new screening technique to search for genes that change patients' response to cancer drugs and other medications has been developed by scientists at Washington University Medical Center.

It's running trials to see if the drug can be used in earlier stages of cancer.

A new genetic test can tell doctors which breast cancer patients need to undergo the discomfort of chemotherapy -- and suggests many women don't need to, researchers said on Friday.

A test currently available on the market can predict which breast cancer patients are at risk for their cancer to recur, which could be a vital tool for deciding if further treatment, such as chemotherapy will be useful or safely avoided.
