      Good question! We have been proving in my lab that we can predict a relapse of breast cancer before it could have been done using current methods. We have also shown that we can find actionable targets in liquid biopsies i.e. found mutations that respond better to certain drugs. It could be used more and more to monitor all sorts of cancers.
