From today's RNS:
Harvested CTCs also have the added advantage in that they can undergo RNA, protein, and morphological analysis, thus combining genotype with phenotype to give a comprehensive biomarker profile. These recent advances in molecular oncology, combined with broad phenotyping including protein expression and analysis of methylation patterns are driving the implementation of precision oncology, with the aim of improving patient care.
AN mentioned in the recent proactive one2one that Angle were looking at the stored samples for prostate and ovarian being tested by third party systems. He mentioned NGS in the same breath so I am wondering if either Illumina or Thermo Fisher will be chosen as the third party platform as both dominate NGS and can be used for molecular analysis. Presumably there would be a cost attached to using either system if Angle do not have them readily installed?
