16 days agoThe Signatera test is actually used to monitor cancer treatment progress rather than diagnose pancreatic cancer or detect genetic predisposition - it's a blood test that looks for circulating tumor DNA to help track how well treatment is working. For genetic testing related to pancreatic cancer risk, there are separate tests that can identify inherited gene mutations, and healthcare providers can explain which tests might be appropriate for specific situations and family histories.
