Evidence
The LUNAR-2 assay is now available for Research Use Only. It is a blood-based ctDNA test to detect colorectal cancer in a screen-relevant, average risk population. The LUNAR-2 test has been developed to detect malignant disease in screen-relevant patients who would otherwise undergo screening for malignant disease using invasive methodologies such as colonoscopy. The intended use of such a test would be to return a result of ctDNA detected/ ctDNA not detected in a patient eligible for average risk screening for colorectal cancer. Those patients who receive a ctDNA detected result should undergo further investigation with colonoscopy.
