The FDA updated and renamed its Companion Diagnostics List to include tests authorised through various regulatory pathways, highlighting the first test that detects cancer recurrence in blood using circulating tumor DNA. New liquid biopsy diagnostics, including expanded coverage for prostate cancer and other cancers, now guide targeted therapy decisions more precisely.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Health.
