Sample Prep: Advancing Cancer Research with Tools for Liquid Biopsy
Aired July 10, 2024 —Stream On Demand
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020, or nearly one in six deaths, according to the World Health Organization. Many cancers can be cured if detected early and treated effectively. Cancer detection and treatment are based on biomarker analysis from a patient tumor sample, called tissue biopsy. As a minimal invasive option complementary to traditional biopsies, liquid biopsies enable discovery of highly specific and sensitive biomarkers and can be used for dynamic and timely monitoring of tumor progression. The three major types of biomarkers being isolated and analyzed in liquid biopsy are circulating tumor cells (CTCs), extracellular vesicles, and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA).

Using Diagnostic Management Teams to Add Value with Clinical Laboratory Tests and Pathologists’ Expertise
Diagnostic Management Teams are gaining respect as an effective way for pathologists and clinical laboratory leaders to engage clinicians in ways that directly improve patient outcomes while avoiding unnecessary costs. Best of all, such teams are an effective way for medical laboratories to contribute value as reimbursement shifts to global payment, capitation, or other forms of value-based remuneration to providers. The power of a diagnostic management team (DMT) comes from the fact that it is organized specifically to improve the diagnostic accuracy of a specific disease or health condition. Each DMT brings together pathologists, other lab experts, and physicians with clinical expertise in that field to interpret patient-specific test results in a precise clinical context that includes relevant data in that patient’s medical record. Interest in DMTs is so high that last year’s first annual Diagnostic Management Team Conference in Galveston, Texas, was completely sold out, with more than 250 attendees from throughout the United States and several foreign countries. Recognizing the high interest, as well as the high value, in DMTs, Dark Daily is presenting a special new webinar.
