Min-Han Tan: More US cancer patients can now benefit from non-invasive ctDNA and ctRNA liquid biopsies

Min-Han Tan, CEO and Medical Director at Lucence, shared the post by Lucence, on LinkedIn:

“Very glad to share that more US cancer patients can now benefit from non-invasive ctDNA and ctRNA liquid biopsies, with expanded coverage!

So much thanks to Regence for helping more cancer patients access critical biomarker information for selecting treatments!”

Lucence shared this post on LinkedIn:

We’re glad to announce expanded access to our Liquid HALLMARK ctDNA and ctRNA liquid biopsy test for Regence health plan members across the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain regions.

1 in 2 eligible lung cancer patients in the United States do not receive precision medicine treatments due to limitations in biomarker testing (Sadik et al, JCO PO, 2022), as an example of the real problems faced by cancer patients.

This expanded coverage for ctDNA and RNA means more US cancer patients can receive liquid biopsy testing that provides essential biomarker testing.

Participation includes Regence’s commercial and Medicare Advantage plans where applicable, helping more cancer patients access critical testing.

Very glad to advance personalized cancer care together with our partners!”
