EVENT DESCRIPTION
Liquid biopsy represents a transformation in the management of oncology patients given its potential to detect, characterize, and monitor cancers earlier than can be achieved with conventional modalities. Additional value lies in its non-invasive nature, availability and accessibility, which enables other sampling options when tissue is not available or insufficient.
In this symposium, we demonstrate the following:
- The utility of an NGS-based ctDNA testing approach for therapy selection in advanced cancers
- Tissue-agnostic treatment response monitoring in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer and its prognostic value in guiding treatment decisions
