New hope for cancer care as Bengaluru lab MedGenome cracks tricky biopsy
In a development that could transform the management of cancer patients, a Bengaluru-based laboratory has claimed to have cracked the difficulties related to tracing malignant cells and avoid repeated biopsies.
Doctors often are forced to conduct repeated biopsy tests to detect certain types of cancers related to skin, lung and colon.
But with the new method — liquid biopsy test — developed for the first time in India by MedGenome, a genomics-based research and diagnostics company, physicians can identify genetic alterations, interpret, assess and treat various forms of cancer, the company said. #News
