[News Brief] Lucence Demonstrates Improved Cancer Diagnostic Yield at ASCO 2025

Lucence Demonstrates Improved Cancer Diagnostic Yield at ASCO 2025

Lucence presented clinical data at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) meeting in Chicago. The studies evaluate a liquid biopsy assay that combines circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) and RNA (ctRNA) to improve cancer mutation detection.

  • Technology: The assay uses proprietary amplicon-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, AmpliMARK™, to identify mutations and gene fusions from a single blood sample.
  • Clinical Data: Prospective multicentre data for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) indicated that the integrated ctDNA and ctRNA approach increased the identification of clinically actionable variants.
  • Diagnostic Utility: A pan-cancer analysis demonstrated that the inclusion of ctRNA captures gene fusions and molecular variants that are frequently undetected by ctDNA-only testing across multiple tumour types.

This summary is based on a press release issued by Lucence.
