What Was Expected in 2026?
The Liquid Biopsy for Precision Oncology Summit is the world’s leading meeting dedicated to advancing liquid biopsy across discovery, development and delivery. Over the past decade, the field has seen ctDNA and MRD transform from exploratory assays into powerful clinical tools, with multi-omic approaches, methylation profiling, AI, and fragmentomics now unlocking unprecedented insights.
As liquid biopsy moves closer to routine clinical adoption, standardization now stands as one of the greatest challenges: from aligning definitions and analytical thresholds, to building the evidence regulators, payers and clinicians need for confidence.
In 2027, respond directly to this call, by uniting with leaders from pharma, biotech, diagnostics, academia, advocacy and policy to define solutions that accelerate validation, reimbursement and access.
