Cancer is Not a Physiologic Process
•High uncontrolled proliferation rate
•High relative turnover of cells
•Heterogeneity within the tumor cells

2
Circulating Cellular Debris Contains Fingerprints of Tumor Cells
Plasma
Quest Diagnostics

3
Hypothesis
•Plasma (or serum) contains the “fingerprints”
of cancer cells
•Plasma (or serum) is enriched by tumorspecific DNA, RNA and cellular proteins.
•Every cell-based test can also be performed
using plasma (LeumetaTM).

Why Hematologic Diseases?
•Neoplastic cells “swim” in plasma/serum.
•Hematologic diseases can be patchy
•Reticuloendothlial system is frequently
damaged in hematologic diseases

Leumeta™ - Summary
New Paradigm in Testing
• Plasma contains the fingerprint of tumor cell
(Leukemia/lymphoma)
• Plasma is frequently more sensitive than cell
samples (less dilution by normal cells).
• Plasma-based testing reduce the need for biopsies
• Most of Plasma-based assays are quantitative,
easier to standardize and more objective.
• There is a need for the development of more
plasma-based tests to more significantly reduce
the need for biopsies.
