Could a Blood Test Soon Test for Breast Cancer?

Posted: Updated:

A blood test may one day be able to identify women most at risk of developing breast cancer.

British scientists took blood from 1,300 women and found those who have a certain gene mutation are more vulnerable to the disease.

Researchers are hoping the test can be developed into a screening tool and identify high risk women years before any cancer develops.
