RE: Angle Plc. Why are the likes of Illumina NOT currently offering DNA sequencing of circulating tumour cells?16 Mar 2024 15:10

In reply to your post.
1, What original question?
2. Why have you not answered the subject title question above. If there is a valid reason then I'd like to know. Even if it is bad news!
3. Angle's RNS's of 4th Jan and 20th Jan are basically saying they have found "actionable DNA varients" in LIVE circulating tumour cells (CTC's) that were NOT found when the same patients blood plasma DNA fragments were tested (the CtDNA). Do you deny that is what the RNS says? Actionable DNA, as I understand it, is DNA that, if found in the cancer can be targeted by certain treatments? Do you deny this? You may have mis-understood my posts. This discovery was only anounced on 4th Jan! I was trying to say this. IN THE FUTURE, the likes of the Illumina system might be used to find any actionable DNA varients in both the CtDna and the CCT's. Those actionable variants might then be targeted with treatments. Note the information from CtDNA analysis is already currectly used to guide clinicians as I understand it. Adding the CCT analysis seems the next logical step, and that seems to be what Angle are suggesting. That is why, as they said in the RNS, they are discussing this with Illumina.
All IMHO.
