GITAM researcher works on blood test for aggressive breast cancer

Prof. Rama Rao Malla of GITAM's Department of Life Sciences is leading an ICMR-funded project to develop a blood test for early detection of triple-negative breast cancer, one of the most aggressive forms of the disease. The study will compare blood samples from early-stage patients with those from healthy women. This cancer lacks receptors for oestrogen, progesterone and HER2.
