Blood biopsies offer early warning of cancer’s return. Tests that look for hundreds of tumor mutations may detect residual disease in patients after treatment. <a href="https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2020/03/personalized-blood-biopsies-may-provide-signal-of-cancer-recurrence/"target="_blank"><strong>Read more.</strong></a>
