Chiba University Venture Aims to Implement Genome Analysis in Medical Treatment The Kashiwanoha Genome Clinic, a Chiba University venture Cancer Liquid Biopsy Outpatient Clinic" for Early Detection of Cancer in February

Kashiwanoha Genome Clinic (Director: Hiroki Sonehara), a Chiba University venture, will start "Cancer Liquid Biopsy Outpatient Clinic" at its clinic in Chiba University Kashiwanoha Campus from February 2024.

What is "Cancer Liquid Biopsy" (https://www.genome-clinic.com/)

Explanation of Cancer Liquid Biopsy

Cancer liquid biopsy" is a generic term for tests for early detection and monitoring of cancer, as well as for providing a treatment plan, by analyzing DNA/RNA and cells derived from cancer in blood and other bodily fluids. Since the test can be performed without much burden on the body by drawing blood, it is being actively researched worldwide. The Genome Clinic has been conducting research in the field of genome analysis with the aim of determining the risk of cancer and early detection. This time, we have gathered tests related to this field from both Japan and overseas and will start "Cancer Liquid Biopsy Outpatient Clinic". We aim to improve the prognosis of cancer by increasing the number of people who receive the test.
