Driving Comprehensive Precision Oncology
The Unique Role of Liquid Biopsies in Expanding Critical Biomarker Insights
It's estimated that 40-50% of cancer patients have tumors containing known clinically actionable mutations. Yet, without accessible biomarker testing, there is a risk that new biomarker-driven drugs will not reach patients who could benefit from them.
This exclusive Labcorp Oncology Engager will be focusing on the benefits of utilizing liquid biopsy alone or in conjunction with tissue-based genomic testing to empower clinical trial optimization and, ultimately, access to better treatment options for patients through precision medicine.
Bringing together Scientists, Directors, and Heads working in the LBx space of the most innovative oncology-focused biopharma and research institutions, this is the must-attend meeting to discover how to maximize patient access to these treatments and overcome the ever-increasing need to identify patients most likely to benefit from therapy.
With an insightful panel discussion among key opinion leaders followed by complimentary appetizers and drinks, this is an unmissable date for LBx leaders!
