But after every concluded chapter, there’s a new one, and I will help you make an informed decision about why you should consider a cooperative for your next thing.

New Tool for Assessing Cost of ctDNA Testing

A framework for calculating the cost of circulating tumor DNA testing across different workflows is presented in the Journal of Molecular Diagnostics this week, providing a tool that can help labs and hospitals make informed investment decisions.

To help overcome this problem, researchers from the Netherlands Cancer Institute developed a framework that provides a consistent total cost calculation for ctDNA testing across different diagnostic workflows and platforms — including aspects such as personnel, materials, overhead, and failures — while taking test volume into account.
