NeoGenomics to Present New ctDNA Research at SABCS 2025

Key Terms

circulating tumor DNA medical

Fragments of DNA shed by cancer cells into the bloodstream that act like tiny fingerprints of a tumor; they can be detected with a blood test rather than a biopsy. Investors care because circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) enables faster, lower-cost ways to detect disease, track treatment response, identify emerging resistance and enroll patients in trials—factors that can materially affect the commercial prospects of diagnostics and therapeutics.

ctDNA medical

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is tiny fragments of genetic material shed by cancer cells into the bloodstream, like breadcrumbs that can reveal a tumor’s presence and genetic makeup without needing a biopsy. For investors, ctDNA matters because tests and technologies that detect and analyze these fragments can speed diagnosis, track treatment response, and signal relapse, creating commercial opportunities in diagnostics, personalized therapies, and monitoring services.

molecular residual disease medical

Molecular residual disease is the tiny amount of cancer that can remain in the body after treatment and is detectable only by sensitive tests that find cancer DNA or other molecular traces. It matters to investors because these measurements can predict relapse, guide whether additional therapy is needed, and shape the market for diagnostics and drugs—much like finding embers after a fire helps decide if more firefighting is required.

MRD medical

MRD stands for minimal residual disease, the tiny number of cancer cells that can remain in the body after treatment and that may not show up on routine scans. Detecting MRD is like finding a few seeds left in a garden after clearing: it helps doctors predict the chance of relapse and measure how effective a therapy is, which investors watch because MRD results can influence clinical trial success, regulatory decisions, and a drug’s market potential.

liquid biopsy medical

A liquid biopsy is a laboratory test that looks for tiny pieces of tumor or disease-related material — such as DNA, proteins, or cells — circulating in blood or other body fluids, allowing detection and monitoring without a surgical tissue sample. For investors, it matters because these tests can speed diagnosis, guide treatment choices, enable easier repeat testing, and create recurring revenue streams if adopted widely, affecting a medical company's growth and regulatory risk profile.

Data include findings generated using the RaDaR 1.0 assay to assess molecular residual disease and recurrence risk in early breast cancer

FORT MYERS, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- NeoGenomics, Inc. (NASDAQ: NEO), a leading provider of oncology diagnostic solutions that enable precision medicine, today announced that data utilizing its RaDaR^® 1.0 assay for the detection of molecular residual disease (MRD) will be presented at the 2025 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS), taking place Dec. 9–12, 2025, at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas.

NeoGenomics will present new data from the SURVIVE HERoes Phase III trial and the CLEVER study, both of which used RaDaR 1.0 circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) testing to evaluate molecular residual disease and recurrence risk. These findings reinforce the growing role of tumor-informed ctDNA approaches in early breast cancer research and recurrence monitoring.

Presentation details

• The first study, titled “5-year outcomes and ctDNA findings in the CLEVER trial targeting disseminated dormant tumor cells,” investigates long-term recurrence biology in patients with high-risk breast cancer and shows that positive ctDNA frequently precedes clinical recurrence. Five-year follow-up data demonstrate that RaDaR-detected ctDNA was present in most patients with disseminated tumor cells, often months before relapse. These findings reinforce the potential role that sensitive ctDNA testing can play in monitoring molecular residual disease during periods of ongoing long-term risk. Investigators from the University of Pennsylvania will present on Thursday, Dec. 11, 2025, 7:00 AM–8:30 AM CST. [PD5-02]
• The SURVIVE Phase III randomized case-control trial, presented as “Reevaluating Follow-Up in Early Breast Cancer, guided by Liquid Biopsy: the SURVIVE Study (NCT05658172),” investigates whether the use of the RaDaR assay in liquid-biopsy guided follow-up may enable earlier detection of recurrence and improve overall survival. Investigators from the University Hospital Ulm, Germany, presenting on behalf of recruiting centers across Germany, will share the current status on Friday, Dec. 12, 2025, 12:30 PM–2:00 PM CST. [PS5-08-13]
• The SURVIVE HERoes Phase III trial, presented as “The SURVIVE HERoes study NCT06643585: Targeting molecular relapse in breast cancer,” is an ongoing therapeutic intervention arm of the SURVIVE trial, which evaluates an emerging strategy for treating patients at the point of molecular relapse, when ctDNA is detectable when using the RaDaR assay despite no radiographic evidence of disease. The study examines whether earlier intervention in HER2-positive or HER2-low early breast cancer can improve long-term outcomes. Positive study results could help establish a new, molecularly guided, individualized surveillance and treatment approach. Investigators from the University Hospital Ulm will present on Friday, Dec.12, 2025, 12:30 PM–2:00 PM CST. [PS5-07-28]

"The findings presented at this year’s SABCS conference demonstrate how RaDaR-detected ctDNA can provide invaluable and actionable information to care teams as they monitor patients following their initial breast care treatment,” said Tony Zook, Chief Executive Officer. “These studies represent an important step in building the evidence needed to integrate MRD insights into the routine oncology care that community oncologists and their patients deserve."
