Practical Analytical and Clinical Validation Strategies for Cell-Free Tumor DNA Assays



This webinar is a recorded presentation of a live broadcast and includes a pre-test, the presentation, handout, and a post-test. Continuing education credit is available for the webinar.


This interactive webinar is part 2 of the 8-part Utility of Cell-Free DNA in the Clinic Series.

Description:

There is increasing adoption of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) assays in molecular oncology. Ensuring that technical and compliance requirements for clinical lab testing are met can be particularly challenging for ctDNA assays. This presentation will include discussion of analytical validation strategies for ctDNA assays to establish that assays perform as intended.

Learning Objectives:

1.       Define cell-free DNA (cfDNA), and recognize its dynamics in health and disease.
2.       Understand challenges unique to cfDNA assay validation.
3.       Identify solutions for analytically validating cfDNA assays.
4.       Discuss opportunities and limitations for assessing circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in oncology.
