    Supporting the Detection of Early-Stage Disease with Use of Biomarkers

    Meeting News

    The NELSON trial and the US National Lung Cancer Screening Trial (NLST) marked major advances in lung cancer by establishing that low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening of high-risk individuals is effective at catching the disease in early stages when curative approaches can be used, in turn reducing mortality by 20% to 40%.1,2 The wealth of circulating biomarkers now under investigation begs the question of whether mortality can be reduced further…

    Liquid Biopsy’s Role in Marker Identification: An Interview With Dr. Martin Filipits

    Evolving Standards of Care

    Posted: April 16, 2020 As we know, molecular marker identification allows for more rational use of existing therapies. When markers can be identified more effectively and quickly, patient care advances. In the following interview, Martin Filipits, PhD, discusses liquid biopsy’s role in marker identification and the downstream effects of its use. Dr. Filipits is a…
