Dana-Farber Cancer Institute unveils groundbreaking blood test for multiple myeloma

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Boston, MA — Researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have developed a blood test that could transform the diagnosis and monitoring of multiple myeloma (MM) and its precursor conditions. The new method, known as SWIFT-seq, utilizes single-cell sequencing to profile circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the blood, offering a non-invasive alternative to traditional bone marrow
