Datar Cancer Genetics Introduces Revolutionary Tumor-Agnostic + Informed Blood Test for Residual Disease Monitoring

LONDON and MUNICH and NEW DELHI, Jan. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Datar Cancer Genetics (DCG) today announced the launch of Target-MRD, an advanced molecular residual disease (MRD) monitoring blood test for solid organ cancers. Target-MRD is a blood test based on tumor-agnostic next-generation sequencing (NGS) and customized, tumor-informed droplet digital PCR (dd-PCR) assay.

In patients who undergo initial anticancer treatments, a small number of tumor cells can survive and persist in the body. This low ‘disease burden’ is capable of leading to a relapse, which can remain undetectable by traditional genomic and imaging methods. Timely detection of this ‘minimal residual disease’ is now considered critical towards mitigating risks of recurrence.

Target-MRD offers personalized, ultra-sensit

ive detection and monitoring of residual disease at the molecular level, if any, to assist oncologists to intervene early, well before the disease gets out of hand. Target-MRD combines tumor-agnostic (to detect tumor evolution) and tumor-informed (specific to a patient’s cancer) biomarkers thus offering a comprehensive and ultra-high sensitivity solution for more effective disease management
