Advanced NGS Partnership Paves Way for More Accessible Personalized Medicine in Cancer

New next generation sequencing test panels have been developed to provide more affordable advanced NGS testing that can help doctors choose the most effective cancer treatments based on tumor type and an individual’s genetic profile, an important step towards making personalized medicine broadly accessible. First launch is of a NGS colon cancer test panel.  More...

Telomere Biomarker Blood Test Predicts Cancer Years In Advance

Telomeres are sequences of DNA on the ends of chromosomes that stop them fraying and losing their integrity, but they gradually shorten as one ages and by the time one grow up they are half the length they were when a person was born, then they halve again as they enter old age.  More...
