Collaborative Effort to Establish Comprehensive Genetic Testing for Brain Tumors Using Advanced Genomic Analysis
Taipei, Taiwan – Aug 21, 2024
Advanced Genomics APAC Co. Ltd. is pleased to announce the signing of a joint research agreement with Showa University (located in Shinagawa, Tokyo, represented by Chairman Katsushi Oguchi) and Cancer Precision Medicine, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "CPM", located in Kawasaki, Kanagawa, represented by President Junichi Shimada) to establish comprehensive genetic testing for brain tumors using the GALEAS Tumor product developed by Nonacus, a subsidiary of Advanced Genomics Limited (UK).
Brain tumors, especially malignant ones, are known for their poor prognosis and difficulty in treatment. Recently, genomic analysis in the field of brain tumors has rapidly advanced, leading to the discovery of genetic mutations that serve as prognostic and therapeutic response predictors, and the development of targeted therapies. Genetic mutation information is increasingly being incorporated into diagnostic criteria for brain tumors, making genetic testing an essential component of future routine clinical practice.
This joint research aims to establish a robust framework for genetic testing of brain tumors, enabling precise identification of genetic mutations that drive tumor growth and progression. By leveraging next-generation sequencing technology and the GALEAS Tumor product developed by Nonacus, the collaboration seeks to develop diagnostic tools that integrate genetic data into routine clinical practice, enhancing the accuracy of diagnoses and the effectiveness of personalized treatment strategies.
