Novel, high-performance genomic technologies now allow detection of signals from cancers in the blood, giving rise to a new paradigm of multi-cancer detection (MCD) tests. Blood is inherently well suited for detection of cancer biomarkers as it contains circulating tumor cells and tumor cell-free DNA (cfDNA) that have been “shed” from an occult asymptomatic developing cancer. MCD tests analyze these genomic features of the circulating DNA, distinguish it from background signals and determine a site of tumor origin to guide subsequent testing to establish a firm cancer diagnosis (hopefully pre-symptomatic early stage and highly curable). An effective MCD test should ...

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of sacituzumab govitecan in treating patients with HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastases). Sacituzumab govitecan is a monoclonal antibody, called sacituzumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug, called govitecan. Sacituzumab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules on the surface of cancer cells, known as Trop-2 receptors, and delivers govitecan to kill them. Giving sacituzumab govitecan may shrink the cancer in the brain and/or extend the time until the cancer gets worse.
