I went and re- read my post. I don't think it has a name, yet. If it is being done in trials in U.S. hospitals, I assume they would be the top breast cancer clinics, which eliminates mine. From what I've read, it absolutely will be coming. Good predictive abilities seems crucial to saving our lives!

I think you are describing Signatera. At the bottom of the Natera website is a place where your doctor can request more information. https://www.natera.com/info/personalized-mrd-test/

Signatera is the test, ct DNA ( circulating tumor DNA) is what is being measured ( hopefully negative) and identified by analysis of your biopsied or surgically removed tumor tissue. Natera is the company.
