Liquid biopsies for early cancer detection: Current and future trends
Wednesday, July 9, at 16:00 BST | 17:00 CEST | 11:00 EDT | 8:00 PDT
Early cancer detection remains one of the biggest challenges in oncology, with many cancers going undetected until later stages when treatment options are more limited. Advances in multi-cancer early detection (MCED) aim to address this by identifying multiple cancer types through a single test, often using a simple blood draw.
This has been made possible by the rise of liquid biopsies, which offer a less invasive, faster alternative to traditional tissue biopsies. However, the accuracy and reliability of these tests hinge on one critical factor: sample stability. The choice of blood collection tube plays a vital role in preserving analytes and ensuring high-quality, reproducible results. As the field evolves, combining multiomics with robust pre-analytical practices is key to unlocking the full potential of liquid biopsy technologies.
Join us for this panel discussion – held in partnership with Streck – exploring the future of early cancer detection and the science behind better liquid biopsies. As part of our Accelerating Science feature, this session brings together leading experts to dive deep into the evolving landscape of cancer detection and the pivotal technologies delivering reliable diagnostic outcomes.
Meet our experts:
- Dr. Tina Clarke Dur, Vice President of Epidemiology and Distinguished Scientist at GRAIL
- Dr. Gary Pestano, Chief Development Officer at Biodesix
- Kevin Billings, Director of Business Segment – Stabilization at Streck
Whether you're a researcher, clinician or healthcare innovator, this session is your opportunity to hear directly from the pioneers pushing the boundaries of what's possible in cancer detection.
