Molecular Diagnostics
Biocore offers a broad range of tumor diagnostic tests for the early detection and monitoring of patients undergoing treatment. biocore offers screening tests as well as quantitative tests that are particularly suitable for the detection and monitoring of minimal residual disease (MRD). MRD is the small number of leukemic or solid tumor cells that remain in the patient during or after treatment when the patient is in remission (no symptoms or signs of disease). It is the major cause of relapse in cancer and leukemia. Particularly unique are the highly multiplexed real-time PCR tests for the simultaneous detection of up to 30 different translocations in acute and chronic leukemia with only one test (HemaVision®, Q-Fusion). In addition to leukemia, molecular markers of various carcinomas and sarcomas can also be used. In addition to MRD tests, the division offers a range of somatic mutation tests that are important in the management of various cancers.
