Personalis Real-Time Variant Tracker identifies resistance mutations across several hundred clinically relevant hotspots

Of all the types of breast cancer, triple negative breast cancer is the most aggressive and lacks specific therapies. TNBC also is more likely to metastasize, or travel through the blood stream to spread to other organs, which causes most of breast cancer-related deaths each year. 

A large-scale international study, led by researchers from the Gray Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences at Tel Aviv University, found a mechanism that allows breast cancer to send metastases to the brain. The findings could enable the development of new drugs and personalized monitoring for early detection and treatment of brain metastases.
