Why It’s Important
Diagnostic testing provides critical information that healthcare providers and patients need to make appropriate medical decisions. Diagnostics provide metrics for the continuum of care, from assessing at-risk patients and screening patients, to detection and diagnosis, to choices of therapy, cure and surveillance. According to Washington D.C-based industry trade group the Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed), the rapidly growing field of molecular diagnostics is one of the most dynamic segments, leading to disease state therapies that can change the course of healthcare.4 Molecular diagnostics detect and measure the presence of DNA, RNA or proteins associated with a specific disease state to discover the fundamental root cause of disease. This is the foundation of personalized medicine, which can enable clinicians to modify care for each individual patient.
