Studies presented at MAP2024 showcase the potential of CTCs, exo-miRNA, cfRNA in Cancer Detection and Progression Prediction – ESMO

ESMO – European Society for Medical Oncology shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Three studies presented at MAP2024 showcase the potential of circulating tumour cells (CTCs), exosomal microRNA (exo-miRNA), and cell-free RNA (cfRNA) in Cancer Detection and Progression Prediction.

➡ CTCs in Colorectal Cancer: Significant reductions in CTCs were observed after 3 months of CAPOX treatment in patients with stage III Colorectal Cancer, suggesting CTCs as a valuable prognostic biomarker.

➡ Exo-miRNA in Breast Cancer: developing an exo-miRNA panel shows promise for metastasis prediction, marking an important step in early cancer detection.

➡ cfRNA for Multicancer Detection: Innovative cfRNA-based tests are being developed to identify cancer-specific biomarkers, aiming for early and accurate detection.
