Microbiome driven liquid biopsy for lung cancer detection
Recent clinical validity data of OncobiotaLUNGdetect on two independent cohorts will be presented. This assay has been developed to detect lung cancer even in its earliest stages (I and II), utilizing multiomics technology, including circulating tumor microbial DNA (ctmbDNA) analyzed by nextgen sequencing, and AI to provide results with greatspecificity and sensitivity.
