By Public Technologies
  • Abbott presented Beta-CORRECT results at ESMO 2026 showing its whole-genome Oncodetect test improved detection of colorectal cancer recurrence versus its whole-exome version.
  • The test identified additional patients with residual cancer DNA following surgery, helping assess recurrence risk.
