About Cancertrack

Cancertrack is a non-invasive, blood-based liquid biopsy that detects cancer-derived biomarkers. It can be used as often as necessary to monitor disease progression or recurrence and to detect mutations acquired during treatment.

Features

  • Coverage of targetable DNA and RNA alterations, including SNVs, short InDels, CNVs and fusions/rearrangements.
  • Multi-coordinate and multi-dimensional analysis of DNA and RNA released by cancer cells into the blood.
  • Rapid, real-time assessment of the cancer’s changing molecular profile.
  • Not dependent on the availability of tumour tissue.
  • Can assess biomarkers arising from multiple active disease sites.
  • Limit of detection: 0.1% Mutant Allele Frequency.

Suitable For

  • People diagnosed with cancer, as a supplement to conventional biopsy and for baseline circulating tumour DNA measurement before treatment.
  • People in remission who require active surveillance and monitoring.
  • People currently undergoing cancer treatment.
  • People who are not responding satisfactorily to standard-of-care therapies.

What Can Cancertrack Reveal?

  • Targetable molecular variants.
  • Early indication of cancer recurrence or relapse.
  • Molecular dynamics in real time.
  • Indication of therapy success.
  • Molecular signs of drug resistance.

Biomarkers

Cancertrack evaluates SNVs and InDels, Copy Number Alterations and RNA fusion rearrangements across a 52-gene panel.

Why Monitoring Matters

Imaging and scans can take longer to show whether treatment is working or has failed. Cancertrack provides molecular information that can help healthcare professionals monitor response or progression alongside conventional clinical assessment.
