A large population-based study led by researchers at Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Center and Mass General Brigham suggests that genetic testing added to routine newborn screening could identify some babies at increased risk of developing cancer before symptoms appear, opening a window for cancer surveillance and early detection. The paper was published in Nature Communications.
