Recent Developments in the Global Molecular Oncology Diagnostics Market
- In August 2022, Guardant Health expanded its Guardant Reveal usage, a liquid biopsy test for residual disease detection and recurrence monitoring, to include early-stage breast and lung cancers. It is the only tissue-free test used for colorectal cancer (CRC) and is now available for patients with breast and lung cancer.
- In December 2021, QIAGEN partnered with Denovo Biopharma to develop a companion diagnostic test for the treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. This test identified patients expressing Denovo genomic marker 1 (DGM1), which responded to Denovo’s investigational cancer drug DB102.
- In September 2021, Illumina partnered with Merck to develop and commercialize research tests for use in identifying specific cancer genetic mutations used in the assessment of homologous recombination deficiency (HRD).
- In August 2021, Agilent Technologies, Inc. expanded its CE-IVD marked PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx assay usage in Europe. This assay was used as an aid in identifying esophageal cancer patients for treatments with KEYTRUDA using a combined positive score.

Additionally, comprehensive competitive strategies such as partnerships, agreements, and collaborations are expected to aid the reader in understanding the untapped revenue pockets in the market.
Impact
- The presence of major kit and assay providers of molecular oncology diagnostics has a major impact on the market. For instance, in March 2021, Biocartis NV launched Idylla GeneFusion Assay as a Rapid Lab Workflow Solution for gene fusion testing. This product provides a much faster testing solution for laboratories in comparison to other testing methods, including NGS.
- Companies such as Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., in August 2022, acquired Curiosity Diagnostics. The company acquired all the outstanding shares of the latter from Scope Fluidics, S.A. for its growth in the medical diagnostic and healthcare markets, for a total consideration of up to $170 million. Similarly, in February 2022, Becton and Dickinson Company (BD) acquired Cytogons to gain exclusive access to advanced assays licensed from the EuroFlow Consortium and strengthen BD's leadership position in the molecular oncology diagnostics segment.
Impact of COVID-19
Cancer screening is crucial for early cancer detection; however, COVID-19 slowed the cancer screening infrastructure greatly. Many cancer organizations have championed the idea of suspending cancer screening services to patients to alter the provision of health care resources. According to the declaration of a national emergency in the U.S. on March 13th, 2020, organizations such as the American Cancer Society advised people to put their cancer screening plans on hold until further notice during the COVID-19 outbreak. Cancer screening services have been severely disrupted because of this proposal, as well as other contextual circumstances (e.g., social exclusion measures).
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact on medical research in the U.S., the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) both extended grant application deadlines, laid back reporting requirements, and offer flexibility in how to grant money is spent. COVID-19 drastically reduced fundraising possibilities for cancer-focused charitable research organizations, which provide up to half of all cancer research funding in the U.S. and frequently fund high-risk, high-reward projects even though the national government supported research work and offered medical researchers the flexibility to implement their skill set and knowledge to studying SARSCoV-2.
