Lab Strategies for Onco-Molecular Diagnostics
Today, the molecular diagnostics industry is moving forward rapidly to build the biomarker based tools, assays, alliances, process improvements, and synergies with anatomic pathology in its quest to dramatically reduce cancer mortality rates and detect cancers at a much early stage.
This new report from Washington G-2 Reports provides insight and expert advice on how these developments can be harnessed to aid the lab in mastering a broad range of cancer detection tools, building test menus and developing the business models and methods for reimbursement that will dictate success in this market.
Washington G-2 Reports combination of experience in and working knowledge of molecular diagnostic laboratories and its nationwide network of industry and financial contacts, plus its many years of coverage of this market from a reporting perspective, make it uniquely suited to prepare this report.
With it, youll get insight and expert advice to help your lab master a broad range of cancer detection tools, build test menus and develop the business models and methods for reimbursement that will dictate success in this market.
Inside, you'll find:
- Novel applications and technologies with respect to detecting human cancers
- How to optimize efficiency in the diagnostic setting
- Alliance management for the onco-molecular diagnostics lab
- Collaborative telemedicine: Synergy between molecular and anatomic pathology in diagnosing cancer
- Scientific challenges and ethical questions in testing for breast cancer in the era of genomic medicine
