New PET tracer accurately detects common cancer mutations and enables targeted treatment
New PET imaging tracers have been proven to safely and effectively detect common cancer gene mutations, which are important molecular markers for tumor-targeted therapies. Identifying this mutation early allows doctors to tailor treatment plans to patients to achieve the best results. The study was published in the December issue of the journal. nuclear medicine journal. […]
ctDNA assay detects colorectal cancer in blood
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) assays can detect colorectal cancer (CRC) in blood samples with high specificity and sensitivity, according to a study published in . Annals of Oncology. ctDNA assays integrate genomics, epigenomics, and fragment-omics. The researchers tested the assay using blood samples taken from two groups of patients. The first group consisted of 318 […]
