Global Biomarker Technology Platforms for Cancer Diagnoses and Therapies Report Featuring 75+ Companies Operating in this Market
M2 - Mon Feb 02, 3:47AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/jkszvl/biomarker) has announced the addition of the "Global Biomarker Technology Platforms for Cancer Diagnoses and Therapies Report Featuring 75 Companies Operating in this Market" report to their offering. Biomarker Technology Platforms for Cancer Diagnoses and Therapies Report particularly examines those clinical measurement devices, and their reagents and supplies, which are meant to be used in hospitals, clinics, commercial laboratories and doctor's offices to diagnose and monitor cancer. The examination also provides an in-depth discussion of the application of biomarkers in developing novel targeted cancer therapeutics, their predication response and efficacy, as well as their use in diagnosis of cancer. The purpose of this publications report is to describe the specific segment of the cancer diagnostics market which develops new biomarker technology platforms for diagnosing and treating cancer. Biomarkers are useful in following the course of cancer and evaluating which therapeutic regimes are most effective for a particular type of cancer, as well as determining long-term susceptibility to cancer or recurrence. Until superior therapeutic treatments are developed to prevent, treat and cure cancer, the best means of reducing mortality and morbidity in a disease this complex is early detection and diagnosis. In the major solid cancer types such as lung, breast, colon and prostate, long-term survival rates drop precipitously once metastatis has occurred. The case is clear for development of biomarkers for early detection and screening tests for diseases such as breast, colon, ovarian and lung cancer. In addition, diagnostic measurement of cancer disease progression is essential to successful disease management. For these reasons, development of new and effective biomarkers for cancer detection and diagnosis is central to the cancer problem. The use of nucleic acid biomarker diagnostics have begun to answer these questions. Protein biomarkers are also useful. Key Topics Covered: 1. Overview 2. Introduction to Cancer Biology and the Diagnostic Industry 3. Market Analysis of the Cancer Biomarkers Space 4. Major Clinical Applications of Cancer Biomarkers 5. Breast Cancer 6. Ovarian Cancer 7. Prostate Cancer 8. Bladder Cancer 9. Colorectal Cancer 10. Genetic Diagnostics Set to Revolutionize Cancer Diagnostic Testing 11. Leukemia Biomarkers 12. Lung Cancer 13.

Cypher Genomics and Sequenom Announce Development Agreement
PR Newswire - Thu Jan 22, 6:00AM CST
Cypher Genomics, Inc., the leading genome informatics company, and Sequenom, Inc. (NASDAQ: SQNM), the leading molecular diagnostics company, today announced a development agreement for next generation noninvasive prenatal tests (NIPT). Through this agreement, Sequenom will utilize Cypher's genome interpretation technology, called Mantis(TM), to advance analysis of clinically-relevant fetal sub-chromosomal variants detected in maternal blood. Often not detected until after birth, sub-chromosomal variants comprise greater than 50 percent of rare chromosomal abnormalities beyond the more common aneuploidies and are associated with significant risks of morbidity and mortality.

Global Prenatal and Newborn Genetic Testing Market 2015-2019 with Agilent Technologies, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Illumina & Sequenom Dominating
M2 - Wed Jan 14, 11:44AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wbgb7s/global_prenatal) has announced the addition of the "Global Prenatal and Newborn Genetic Testing Market 2015-2019" report to their offering. The Global Prenatal and Newborn Genetic Testing market to grow at a CAGR of 31.91% over the period 2014-2019 Prenatal and newborn genetic testing involves genetic testing before and after birth. Prenatal testing helps detect changes in the fetus before birth. It can reduce a couple's uncertainty or help them decide whether to abort a pregnancy in case of conditions such as Down syndrome, trisomy 18, or an open neural tube defect. The procedure includes two blood tests: one in the first trimester and the next in the second trimester. On the other hand, newborn genetic testing is done just after birth to identify genetic disorders. One key trend emerging in this market is the launch of new tests. For instance, in 2014, Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings launched the informaSeq Prenatal Test. In the same year, Sequenom launched the VisibiliT laboratory-developed test in international markets. According to the report, one of the major drivers of the market is the growing incidence of fetal health-related abnormalities such as Down syndrome, Edward syndrome, neural tube defects, sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, Tay-Sachs disease, spina bifida, cystic fibrosis, cleft palate, muscular dystrophy, and fragile X syndrome. Further, the report states that a decrease in fertility rates worldwide is one of the main challenges that the market faces. This has led to a decline in the number of pregnancies, resulting in a reduction in the demand for prenatal and newborn testing The Global Prenatal and Newborn Genetic Testing market can be divided into two segments: - Diagnostic Techniques - Screening Methods Key Vendors - Agilent Technologies - Bio-Rad Laboratories - Illumina - Sequenom Key Topics Covered: - Executive Summary - List of Abbreviations - Scope of the Report - Market Research Methodology - Introduction - Market Landscape - Market Segmentation by Technology - Prenatal Screening Tests - Causes and Risk Factors - Genetic Disorders before Birth - Geographical Segmentation - Buying Criteria - Market Growth Drivers - Drivers and their Impact - Market Challenges - Impact of Drivers and Challenges - Market Trends - Trends and their Impact - Vendor Landscape - Key Vendor Analysis For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wb...l_prenatal
