Presentation: Cancer Diagnostics and Prognostics dot

Approaches and Applications of Circulating Tumor  DNA Analysis in Cancer

Dr. Theresa Zhang, Personal Genome Diagnostics

One of the presenters at the Molecular Diagnostics conference in Lisbon (April 2016) was Dr. Theresa Zhang, Vice President of Research Services at Personal Genome Diagnostics. She discussed how ctDNA analysis is poised to have a profound impact on how we treat cancer patients — in diagnostics, prognostics and drug monitoring.

Her presentation discusses the role that measuring ctDNA may play in earlier cancer detection in the future. She discusses:

  • The potential for ctDNA in transforming oncology in practice.
  • Directing targeted therapy in the late-stage patient.
  • Using ctDNA to monitor response to drug treatment.
  • The role of clinical laboratory automation in controlling contamination.
