Abstract

The use of companion diagnostics has become a standard in precision oncology in the context of ongoing therapeutic innovation. However, certain limitations make their application imperfect in current practice. This position paper underscores the need to broaden the notion of companion testing, considering the potential of emerging technologies, including computational biology, to overcome these limitations. This wave of progress should impact not only our representation of the analytical tool itself but also the nature of the tumoral sample under analysis (liquid biopsies). The complex inter-relationship between companion test guided-personalized therapy, and health agency policies for new drug agreements will also be discussed.
