The NETest, a multigene liquid biopsy blood biomarker test used to diagnose neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), was found to be more accurate at predicting recurrence in patients who had undergone NET resection surgery than other standard postsurgery imaging techniques, such as Chromogranin A (CgA), investigators concluded in a study.
The prospective multicenter evaluation of NET resections over 24 months, published in Annals of Surgery, found that NETest could be an important clinical tool and a real-time, noninvasive molecular strategy to determine whether a patient is disease free after surgery and aid providers in facilitating the surgical management of NETs.
