Article Synopsis
- Early detection of tumors in cancer patients leads to better treatment outcomes for less advanced cancers.
- Tumor-educated platelets (TEPs) can be used for cancer detection via RNA-based blood tests, identifying 18 different cancer types with high accuracy.
- The thromboSeq test showed 99% specificity in asymptomatic controls, accurately detecting two-thirds of cancers in advanced stages, and helped determine the origin of tumors in over 80% of cases.
Sarcoma is a heterogeneous group of rare malignancies arising from mesenchymal tissues. Recurrence rates are high and methods for early detection by blood-based biomarkers do not exist. Hence, development of blood-based liquid biopsies as disease recurrence monitoring biomarkers would be an important step forward.
