Presentation of Stroma Liquid Biopsy at the US Human Proteome Annual Conference

MONMOUTH JUNCTION, N.J. - March 28, 2018 - PRLog -- Biotech Support Group reports on recent research, presented as a poster report and highlighted as a speaker presentation at the 14^th Annual US HUPO Conference, held March 11-14, 2018 in Minneapolis, Minnesota USA.This research shows that through robust quantitative mass spectrometry workflows, systemic response to the presence of cancer can be profiled with protein biomarkers. These biomarkers fall within three common pathways which change in the bloodstream regardless of the primary tumor, stage, metastatic disease, or tumor burden. Five different cancers – lung, breast, pancreatic, lymph and ovary, were profiled along with normal/healthy individuals of approximate age and matched sex for comparison.

The presentation was entitled "Stroma Liquid Biopsy – Pan-Cancer Dysregulation of the Serum Proteome".It can be downloaded at: http://www.biotechsupportgroup.com/v/vspfiles/templates/257/pdf/USHUPO2018PosterPrintVersion.pdf

"After several years of optimizing our AlbuVoid™ bead based enrichment methods and aggregating our data, I am very pleased that we can report what we believe are significant discoveries. Our selection of biomarkers offer key advantages as they are all highly observable, being of relative high abundance in the bloodstream. Furthermore, they are all highly differentiated – many severely, in the cancer population, and very stable in the normal/healthy population. Under the guidance of a physician, such dysregulated patterns may serve within the context of current 'liquid biopsy' platforms, forming an early indicator for cancer even before clinical evidence. These same patterns may be prognostic as well as offer individualized and precision therapy for a patient. We hope to refine our reporting methods with additional investigations in the future. For this, we are engaging partnerships with organizations to commercialize our proprietary discoveries, so ultimately we can improve cancer patient outcomes.", states Dr. Swapan Roy, Ph.D., President and Founder of Biotech Support Group.
