This research on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) testing represents an exciting advancement in personalized breast cancer care, especially for those with HR+ HER2- diagnoses. Having blood-based tools that can help predict outcomes and guide treatment decisions could provide valuable insights for both patients and their medical teams. Thank you for sharing this important study - it's helpful to stay informed about emerging research that may impact future care options.

It would be nice if they listed the gene. I have high amplification of FGFR1, but can't find alot of info. I also have BRCA2, ATM And CHEK2.
