HER2 Support Group Forums - View Single Post - new method to detect bc earlier by blood test being developed

Even if the test is only proven to separate out those who have never had cancer and those who have (and thus not helpful to bc survivors in finding recurrence), it still would be great to have something better than radiation or such expensive tests as PET scans in screening everyone.

I wonder if it is specific to just bc? Or if it detects cancer in general?
