Scientists have developed a straightforward blood test that can predict how well breast cancer patients are likely to respond to specific treatments, potentially allowing doctors to tailor therapy far earlier than is currently possible.

By measuring ctDNA levels before treatment begins, and again after just four weeks, researchers found they could reliably forecast whether a therapy was likely to succeed. In a study involving 167 patients with advanced breast cancer, those with low or undetectable ctDNA levels had significantly better…
