Cell-free tumor DNA has previously been detected in nonblood sources, including urine, saliva, stool, cerebrospinal fluid, and pleural fluid. In this issue, Saura and colleagues present a novel proof-of-concept study demonstrating that detection of tumor DNA in breast milk is feasible and may be a potential future strategy to screen for postpartum breast cancer.

先前已有研究在非血液来源中检测到游离肿瘤 DNA,包括尿液、唾液、粪便、脑脊液和胸腔积液。在本期中,Saura 等人提出了一项新颖的概念验证研究,表明在母乳中检测肿瘤 DNA 是可行的,并且可能是一种潜在的产后乳腺癌筛查策略。见 Saura 等人的相关文章,第 2180 页(14)。
