Original Title: Dxcover brain cancer liquid biopsy test for early brain cancer detection in primary care
Authors' objectives: To provide a high level overview of the DxcoverTM brain cancer liquid biopsy test, which uses machine learning to identify and compare patterns in the biochemical profile of serum from patients with and without brain cancer. The risk of the patient having brain cancer, based on this comparison, is calculated using computer algorithms.
Authors' results and conclusions: While initial evidence suggests that the Dxcover spectroscopic liquid biopsy test may be able to help GPs identify those patients with generic symptoms who are most likely to benefit from referral for a brain scan, further studies are needed to confirm this.
Authors' recommendations: While initial evidence suggests that the Dxcover spectroscopic liquid biopsy test may be able to help GPs identify those patients with generic symptoms who are most likely to benefit from referral for a brain scan, further studies are needed to confirm this.
