Signatera™
for Breast Cancer
Personalized, tumor-informed ctDNA testing for breast cancer detecting molecular residual disease to inform critical decisions for care.
Monitor Your Breast Cancer
The Signatera™ Residual Disease Test is a custom-built blood test for people who have been diagnosed with breast cancer or other solid tumors. Signatera™ can detect molecular residual disease (MRD) in the form of circulating tumor DNA—small fragments of DNA released by cancer cells.
The first time your doctor orders Signatera™, a one time tissue sample and a blood sample are needed to build your unique test.
After your test is built, you will need to get your blood drawn each time your doctor orders Signatera™.
Repeated Signatera™ testing can show changes in your ctDNA levels, helping your doctor understand if your cancer is shrinking, growing, or coming back.
Inform Your Treatment Plan
If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with breast cancer, you likely have many questions. When used alongside other tests, Signatera™ can help guide your care by helping you and your doctor find answers.
-
Is there cancer left after treatment and/or surgery?
- Signatera™ testing after initial treatment and/or surgery can help your doctor learn if residual traces of cancer remain in your body. This information can help you and your doctor understand your risk of breast cancer recurrence and plan your monitoring strategy.1-3
-
Is my cancer likely to come back?
-
Is my immunotherapy working?
