Scientific Sessions

Companion Diagnostics

Companion diagnostics are transforming precision oncology by ensuring that patients receive the most effective therapies based on their individual molecular profiles. These specialized diagnostic tools identify specific genetic mutations, biomarkers, or protein expressions that determine a patient’s likelihood of responding to targeted treatments. By pairing diagnostics with therapeutics, clinicians can optimize treatment selection, improve outcomes, and minimize unnecessary side effects. Advances in genomics, proteomics, and artificial intelligence are accelerating the development of next-generation companion diagnostics that integrate seamlessly into personalized cancer care.

During the Cancer Research and Development Conference 2026, this session will delve into the shifting faces of the companion diagnostics that inform therapeutic decisions and advance precision medicine, from regulatory considerations and clinical validation to innovations pushing their adoption in oncology. Participate and learn how companion diagnostics shape the future of personalized cancer treatment, wherein diagnosis and therapy blend in a way to deliver superior patient outcomes.
