Personalis NeXT Liquid Biopsy

Personalis has launched NeXT Liquid Biopsy, an exome-scale blood-based tumor-profiling assay for advanced-stage solid tumor cancer patients. According to the company, the test monitors over 20 times more genes than most targeted liquid biopsy panels on the market. Personalis believes its more comprehensive option can help biopharmaceutical companies advance their understanding of tumor biology, including resistance mechanisms, to aid in the development of next-generation cancer therapies.
