Investigating Breast Cancer Detection Disparities and the Cost-effectiveness of an Expanded Screening Programme in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Validation Of A Liquid Biopsy To Predict Recurrence In NZ Breast Cancer Patients
Dr Annette Lasham
Early detection of breast cancer recurrence is critical for saving lives. We have identified two molecules, found in the blood of 250 patients at the time of surgery for breast cancer, that were very good at predicting which of these women would have a relapse before five years.
Developing a molecular “fingerprint” as a non-invasive screen for breast cancer
Dr Annette Lasham
This translational grant proposes to build on exciting BCRT-funded science that has led to the identification of two RNA markers in the blood, which together may be able to indicate whether a woman has breast cancer or not.
