At the Stanford School of Medicine, Dr. Maximilian Diehn and colleagues at the Stanford School of Medicine say theyve developed a sensitive DNA test that can tell them right away whether there is tumor left in a patient. If there is cancer DNA in the body left, that suggests there are still cancer cells left, so that patient is probably not cured, he says, whereas if the cancer DNA is gone, that suggests the patient is likely to be cured. npr.org/blogs/health/2014/04/06/299179255/simple-blood-test-to-spot-early-lung-cancer-getting-closer&FB_041614
