"For the first time, we show that breast milk obtained from patients with breast cancer carries tumor DNA, surpassing plasma-based liquid biopsy for detection and molecular profiling of early-stage breast cancer, even prior to diagnosis by image"

This is revolucionary. Testing milk to find otherwise invisible tumors will not only save may lives but also a lot of uncomfortable mammographies to women.

Another example of unexpected fruits harvested when scientists are allowed to be in the right place at the right time. Congratulations to Vall d'Hebron Institute of Oncology in Barcelona
