BOULDER, Colo., April 05, 2018 -- Biodesix®, Inc. will present new data confirming the ability of the company’s droplet digital PCR (ddPCR™)-based platform to reliably detect key mutations in blood for patients with lung cancer. The data will be presented in a poster session at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2018, taking place April 14-18 in Chicago, Ill.
“Blood-based molecular testing overcomes multiple limitations associated with tissue-based testing and is becoming an increasingly important component of care for cancer patients,” said David Brunel, Biodesix CEO. “In this study, we used the highly sensitive ddPCR technology to detect multiple EGFR variants reliably and reproducibly, while maintaining the rapid turnaround time that is characteristic of our testing methodology.”
Presentation details:
