Description

Julia Foldi leads a 2026 prospective study tracking tumour DNA in blood during chemotherapy given before breast cancer surgery. Clearing all invasive cancer by surgery strongly predicts lower relapse risk, and blood tumour DNA may signal that response earlier.

The MONITOR-Breast study enrolled 154 patients across breast cancer subtypes and sampled blood at high frequency using an ultrasensitive residual disease test built from each patient's whole tumour genome. Earlier studies sampled less often with less sensitive tests. Oncologists gain a detailed picture of how blood signals rise and fall during treatment, a step toward using blood tests to adjust therapy before surgery rather than waiting for pathology results.
