The results were discussed yesterday in a poster presentation by
"Once a tumor has metastasized to the brain, CTCs and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) can be found in the cerebrospinal fluid," said
"Our Target Selector™ testing is a minimally invasive, cost-effective strategy to simultaneously confirm metastasis to the brain, while also assessing cancer biomarkers in order to qualify a patient for potential targeted therapy options," said
"This the second major scientific conference in less than two months to accept study results from Target Selector™ testing in cerebrospinal fluid for presentation," added
