Studies at the 2026 AMP Annual Meeting highlight how genomic testing in children can enable earlier diagnoses and improved cancer classification, with Rady researchers reporting positive findings in 36% of adolescents tested.
The blood-based test is designed to detect molecular residual disease without requiring a tumor sample and is expected to be available Dec 15.
Toumy Guettouche, PhD, chief scientific officer at Mercy BioAnalytics and a study co-author, discusses how a blood test measuring proteins on extracellular vesicles detected signs of early-stage ovarian cancer before diagnosis—and what researchers still need to establish before the approach could be used for routine screening.
The research-use-only assay combines two key genetic markers for acute myeloid leukemia in a single test, potentially reducing the need for separate testing workflows and reference lab send-outs.
The FDA has cleared Cepheid’s Xpert Hemorrhagic Fever Panel, a multiplex PCR test that detects four hemorrhagic fever viruses and delivers results in about an hour on GeneXpert Dx systems, according to the company.
Contrario Medical's single-use device uses a two-membrane design to prepare motile sperm from semen samples.
The molecular test could help identify patients more likely to respond to abatacept, with early access expected in 2027.
Researchers developed a simplified metabolic health score using routine blood markers to identify people at greater risk of developing cardiometabolic disease.
The patent expands intellectual property coverage for the blood-based assay ahead of its planned commercial launch.
In a study of 229 patients, an AI-based liquid biopsy matched magnetic resonance elastography in identifying patients with fibrosis stages associated with eligibility for approved MASH treatments.
A study of more than 1,100 transplant recipients found that persistent or later-emerging elevations in donor-derived cell-free DNA were associated with greater risks of rejection and graft loss.
The Cystic Fibrosis Base assay has received IVDR accreditation, ensuring high standards for detecting cystic fibrosis mutations.
Tampa General Hospital is the first in the Southeast to implement the MeMed BV host-response test in its emergency workflow, reporting a 33% reduction in cefepime use and 13% fewer hospitalizations, according to hospital-led research.
