The data indicate a shift in oncology toward more precise detection, improved personalized care, and clearer treatment decisions without adding patient burden or stress.
"Cancer care is at an inflection point, and diagnostics are playing an increasingly central role in how the disease is detected, treated and managed," said Jake Orville, senior vice president, Abbott’s cancer diagnostics business. "By combining tools used for screening, early detection, treatment guidance and recurrence monitoring, we’re helping clinicians make more informed decisions at every stage of cancer care, from risk through remission."
