Breast cancer tissue is frequently analysed for the biomarkers ER, PR, and HER2 to aid with treatment decisions. A biomarker is any gene, protein, or other substance that may be detected in the blood, tissues, or other bodily fluids. Research on the possibility that testing for additional biomarkers, such HER3, could possibly be beneficial is being conducted in certain studies, but it is still in its early stages. When cancer cells perish, DNA known as circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) is released into the bloodstream. Identifying and evaluating ctDNA in blood for biomarkers is a rapidly emerging field of inquiry.
