Fecal Immunochemical Test a Less Expensive Alternative for Colorectal Cancer Screening
A new study has revealed that a fecal immunochemical test (FIT) costs about one-fifth of a multi-target stool DNA test. These results align with previous studies out of Japan and the Netherlands examining FIT as an appropriate screening modality that is more cost effective than other types of noninvasive colorectal screening tests.

Direct-From-Blood Molecular Diagnostic Test to Rapidly Detect Early Lyme Disease
A sensitive diagnostic test that identifies Borrelia burgdorferi directly from a patient’s blood could provide greater accuracy in the diagnosis of early Lyme disease, which may help improve care and lead to better patient outcomes. More...17 Oct 2022
Oncology Test Integration with EMR to Simplify MRD Testing Workflows
The integration of the only FDA-cleared test that can monitor minimal residual disease (MRD) in patients suffering from blood cancers with the most widely used comprehensive electronic health record (EHR) will streamline clinical decision-making for oncologists. More...14 Oct 2022
New Testing Method Simplifies Tuberculosis Diagnosis
In a promising new study, a multinational team of researchers may have found that having patients spit into a cup, then loading saliva into a commercially available testing cartridge can detect the bacteria that causes TB - even though the cartridge is designed to use sputum. More...14 Oct 2022
Rapid Blood Test Predicts Organ Transplant Rejection in Six Hours
A six-hour blood test to predict organ transplant rejection will allow clinicians to react sooner and improve management of transplanted organs experiencing organ dysfunction, while confirmatory biopsies are being arranged. More...13 Oct 2022
Molecular IVD Assay Identifies Women at High Risk for Cervical Cancer
A new molecular assay that has been demonstrated as a sensitive follow-up test to identify HPV positive women with progressing cervical disease in direct need for colposcopy or other follow-up procedures will help to identify women at high risk for cervical cancer. More...12 Oct 2022
