Breast cancer relapse predictor may soon be a reality

Breast cancer survivors like many other cancer survivors live in fear of relapse of their cancer after they have been in remission. Researchers have now developed a tool by which they can predict accurately the time when the cancer is likely to return. The results of this study were published in the latest issue of the journal Nature.
