Biocept to Present Recent Advances in Biomarker Identification from Liquid Biopsies at GTCbio's 11th Biomarker Summit
"In these data sets, we demonstrate the ability of our circulating tumor cell (CTC) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) platforms to detect predictive and prognostic biomarkers from a simple blood sample, which can help physicians select personalized treatment regimens for their patients with cancer," said Dr. Pircher. "Our liquid biopsy assays can be particularly useful when there is insufficient sample material to perform a tissue biopsy or when a tissue biopsy has proven inadequate for identifying actionable biomarkers required to support the use of targeted drug therapy."
"We look forward to showcasing the capabilities of our liquid biopsy technology at this year's Biomarker Summit," stated
