Title: The value of internalizing FDA- authorized tumor genomic profiling solutions for tissue and liquid biopsy

Description: Clinical NGS has advanced precision oncology, enabling physicians to identify actionable biomarkers in patients to aid in therapy selection. This workshop highlights the value of internalizing FDA-cleared tissue and an FDA authorized targeted liquid biopsy tumor profiling kitted solutions with best-in-class bioinformatics to help provide greater access to cancer patients worldwide. This workshop will also showcase our new FDA de novo authorized liquid biopsy kitted solution and examine the validation data included in the FDA submission. Lastly, there will be a panel discussion of active users who will discuss their point of view on the value of internalizing these solutions.

Title: Enabling access to genomic profiling through the FDA- authorized decentralized liquid biopsy solution, PGDx elio™ plasma focus Dx

Description: Liquid biopsy next-generation sequencing assays help guide treatment selection in cancer patients, particularly when tumor tissue is unavailable. Analytical validation an FDA authorized targeted 33-gene kitted assay, PGDx elio™ plasma focus Dx, has shown that detection of cancer-associated variants in ctDNA is highly specific, sensitive, reproducible and accurate.
