Molecular Cancer Diagnostics Market

The potential of molecular diagnostic tools was initially recognized by onco-hematologists during the 1980s based on the observation that specific chromosomal translocations may significantly aid the diagnosis of various types of leukemia and lymphoma. Later, the emergence of user-friendly molecular methods such as PCR has opened up practical applications that helped multiple approaches for cancer diagnosis and treatments. DNA sequencing is increasingly employed in cancer molecular diagnostics. PCR is the initial step used in isolating and amplifying specific regions of the genome, known as amplicons, before moving to the sequencing of these regions, which are then compared with reference sequences to identify mutations.
