Explore the FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) regarding the Liquid Biopsy for Precision Oncology East Coast Summit:
What is the 4th Liquid Biopsy for Precision Oncology East Coast Summit?
Starting as the Liquid Biopsy Early Detection and Surveillance Summit, this conference created a focused space for deep discussion in a niche, hyper-focused setting. Delivering core insights including MRD, circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) analysis, pre-analytical validation, biomarker validation, clinical validation, Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs), microRNAs, cell-free DNA (cfDNA), and more.
As the field evolved, however, this narrow focus unfortunately neglected some of the most critical conversations: regulation, reimbursement, commercialization, plus the role of liquid biopsies in ADCs, RAS-mutant targeted therapies, personalized cancer vaccines, rare disease, and haematology.
Now returning as the 4th Liquid Biopsy for Precision Oncology East Coast Summit, we’re excited to deliver an end-to-end view of liquid biopsy use in clinical trials, which will feature insights from large pharma, innovative biotech's, and key consortia across a content-packed, 2-day Summit.

Why Are Liquid Biopsies Important?
Liquid biopsies are becoming one of the most exciting tools in biopharma’s arsenal, offering non-invasive testing across a range of cancers. From improving diagnosis and prognosis to predicting recurrence and enabling ongoing patient monitoring, liquid biopsies – often through simple blood draws – support better decision-making throughout clinical trials and into routine care.
