Baseline ctDNA Shows Promise as Prognostic Biomarker in Follicular Lymphoma

Summary: Doctors have found a highly accurate way to predict how severe a type of blood cancer called follicular lymphoma will be before treatment even starts.

This simple blood test acts like a medical crystal ball, helping doctors personalize and intensify treatments early on for the patients who need it most.
