Session Abstract – PMWC 2018 Silicon Valley
Session Synopsis: With numerous liquid biopsy tests now available its timely to consider their clinical utility and economics. Should CTCs and other bio-markers also be an integral part of any liquid biopsy? What about ‘blood-tests’ for early cancer detection? Should therapy selection be more intelligent & efficacious using predictive computational analysis? Is there a way to use these technologies to optimize the use of prohibitively expensive drugs?
