Diagnostics: New Solutions for Solid Tumor and Hematologic Malignancies 

To improve patient access to testing and identify those who may be eligible for targeted therapies, Labcorp is announcing:

  • Expansion of capabilities to OmniSeq® INSIGHT: Labcorp's pan-solid tumor profiling test will soon include homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) testing. The addition of HRD testing will help identify patients with ovarian cancer who are most likely to benefit from targeted therapies such as PARP inhibitors or who may be eligible for clinical trials.
  • Expanded FDA-approved companion diagnostics: Additions include the categorization of HER2-low and HER2-ultralow subtypes in the HER2 IHC test for patients with breast cancer and the VENTANA® MET (SP44) RxDx Assay for patients with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer.
