The project is expected to include approximately 2,000 patients over a two-year period.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pillar&#8217;s oncoReveal\u00ae Essential+ assay has been validated at LSI Medience for use as a screening test for circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and cell-free RNA (cfRNA) samples collected from patients with lung cancer participating in the LC-SCRUM-Asia project. Testing will be performed by LSI Medience to support identification of genomic alterations relevant to the project&#8217;s research objectives.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Liquid biopsy testing can enable genomic analysis from blood samples when tissue is limited or when a minimally invasive sampling approach is desirable. By combining analysis of cfDNA and cfRNA, the LC-SCRUM-Asia project is designed to support broad screening for genomic alterations in patients with lung cancer.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The planned use of oncoReveal Essential+ within the LC-SCRUM-Asia project reflects the assay&#8217;s ability to support targeted NGS analysis from blood-based specimens within a decentralised laboratory workflow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"US-Japan collaboration for liquid biopsy screening in lung cancer August 21, 2026 | Friday | News oncoReveal\u00ae Essential+&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":78058,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[13973,8,50039,50041,50040,34111,33,50038],"class_list":["post-78057","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-japan","tag-cancer","tag-japan","tag-lc-scrum-asia","tag-liquid-biopsy","tag-lsi-medience","tag-lung-cancer","tag-nihon","tag-pillar-biosciences"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78057","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78057"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78057\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78058"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78057"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78057"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78057"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
