Test Identifies More Treatable Cancer Mutations Than Biopsies

Standard of care therapies that target specific mutations have changed the face of cancer treatment, and screening for such mutations, which can be drivers of both disease growth and treatment resistance. This can often be done with a biopsy of tumor tissue, but sometimes that tissue is hard to obtain or does not have sufficient DNA for analysis. More...
