Early cancer detection with multiplex immunoassays
Your guide to achieving sensitivity, specificity, and scalability with multiplexed biomarker analysis
26 Jan 2026

Early cancer detection significantly improves outcomes, but many diagnostic tools lack the sensitivity to identify disease at its earliest stages. Single‑analyte assays often fall short because tumour development involves complex networks of interacting biomarkers that cannot be captured by one marker alone.
Multiplex immunoassays overcome this limitation by measuring multiple biomarkers simultaneously from small sample volumes. This approach provides system‑level insight into subtle biological changes linked to early tumour formation. R&D Systems™ Luminex® Assays use validated antibodies, optimised assay design, and flexible panels to accelerate biomarker discovery and advance translational oncology research.
