Early detection of breast cancer in women who are breastfeeding. research hub

Breast cancer early detection - is it feasible to use breast milk as a liquid biopsy to detect breast cancer?

Researchers in Manchester are studying whether breast milk can detect early signs of breast cancer. Breastfeeding women aged 18 and over can join by providing small milk and blood samples and answering questions. This study hopes to help design gentler, non-invasive cancer screening methods for new mothers in the future.
