New Test May Determine if Mesothelioma is Gone
Thu, 04 Mar 2010 13:04:00 +0000

Researchers from Johns Hopkins have created a test that can identify if and when a tumor is coming back after a patient has undergone initial treatment. Blood tests are compared with the unique genetic cancer sequences from the original tumor to tell whether surgeons removed all of the cancerous cells, whether the cancer has spread to other parts of the body, or whether the cancer is coming back. Called the PARE approach, researchers believe the test could be used to develop biomarkers for any cancer including mesothelioma...
