Labcorp Perspectives: Oncology

ctDNA Breakthroughs in Mesothelioma Care

Episode Summary

Exploring immunotherapy and ctDNA innovation in mesothelioma, where molecular monitoring may redefine early cancer detection and treatment.

Episode Notes

In this insightful episode of Labcorp Perspectives Oncology, host Dr. Rebecca Previs sits down with Dr. Mark Sausen, Labcorp's Head of Technology and Innovation, to break down a cutting-edge Phase II clinical trial exploring perioperative immunotherapy for resectable diffuse pleural mesothelioma, a rare and aggressive cancer.

Hear firsthand how the introduction of immune checkpoint blockade and an ultrasensitive tumor-informed ctDNA platform offers new hope for tracking and treating patients when imaging falls short. Dr. Sausen shares the technological breakthroughs behind molecular residual disease detection, the impact of ctDNA on progression-free survival, and practical challenges in implementing these assays across multicenter studies.

Whether you’re a clinician, researcher, or patient advocate, discover how molecular monitoring is changing the game for mesothelioma and rare cancers alike.

Tune in now to reimagine the future of oncology care.
