Personalized Cancer Monitoring (PCM™)

PCM is a pan-cancer, tumor-informed liquid biopsy test that uses next-generation sequencing to detect minimal or molecular residual disease (MRD) in solid tumors. PCM includes three basic steps: 1. A patient's surgically removed tumor or tumor biopsy and blood undergoes whole exome sequencing to create a patient specific tumor fingerprint. 2. Approximately 50 tumor-specific variants are selected for inclusion on a personalized ctDNA panel. 3. Patient-specific assays are created that can be used over time with minimally invasive blood draws to monitor for disease recurrence.
