The Haystack MRD ctDNA liquid biopsy test accurately detects colorectal cancer recurrence with 100% specificity and outperforms standard CEA testing, showing strong clinical and analytical performance in stage II and III patients from the DYNAMIC trials. The test is FDA Breakthrough Designated and available through Quest Diagnostics across the US.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must reposition your cancer diagnostic product to match the high sensitivity and specificity now proven by Haystack MRD. Competitors tied to standard markers like CEA risk obsolescence as this test raises patient care and monitoring standards.
