- Prediction of tumor response and recurrence using ctDNA in patients with esophago-gastric carcinoma and MIBC.
- Genomic profiling of more than 13,000 patients with colorectal cancer.

Natera, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRA) announced a study published in Cancer demonstrating the prognostic and predictive utility of its Signatera test for patients with stages III-IV melanoma. The study analyzed 555 plasma samples from 69 patients and revealed that MRD positivity post-surgery was linked to shorter distant metastasis-free survival (HR=10.77; p=0.01) and earlier detection of recurrence. Among unresectable patients, increasing ctDNA levels indicated shorter progression-free survival (HR=22; p=0.006). Signatera's accuracy in monitoring treatment response highlights its potential for personalized therapy decisions, addressing the unmet need for diagnostic tools in melanoma management.
