Cancer is one of the leading causes of deaths world over with 14 million new cases in 2012. This number is expected to reach 22 million within the next two decades.Download event brochure for more information In the next year or two, doctors will begin routinely monitoring cancer using a potentially revolutionary technique that searches for a genetic signature in a blood sample, according to experts in the field. The new method, known as a “liquid biopsy,” holds the promise of detecting the reappearance of cancer much earlier and more accurately than current methods. And in years to come, this method could also provide a better, less invasive way to diagnose disease than a tissue biopsy. - Gulf TimesMarketsandMarkets Conferences in an initiative to bring global cancer experts under one roof will be organizing a congress in London – UK known as the Cancer Diagnosis and Therapy Congress.
