Cancer DNA blood tests validated by international research t


Researchers have independently validated industry-leading blood tests that can detect the DNA released by tumours.
An international team today reports the findings of an independent assessment of five commercially-available assays for tumour DNA sequencing – a fast, cheap and less invasive method to diagnose and monitor cancer.
The researchers revealed that all assays could reliably detect so-called circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) when it made up 0.5% of the total DNA in blood, a level of sensitivity that allows detection, genetic analysis and monitoring of late-stage and metastatic tumours.
Published in the journal Nature Biotechnology, the study is a major milestone for the use of ctDNA assays as cancer diagnostics, outlining best-practice guidelines and uncovering key areas of future development. ....
