Rochester, Minn.-based Mayo Clinic has developed the Lymph2Cx test, the first lymphoma genomic diagnostic test in the United States.
The Lymph2Cx test, which is the first test to go into practice from the Mayo Clinic Molecular Diagnostic Arizona Laboratory, is a genetic test that guides diagnosis and treatment of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, the most common type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
"New tests like this help us identify accurate diagnoses and treatments quickly, saving time and money, and, ultimately, transforming patient care," said Keith Stewart, the Carlson and Nelson Endowed Director of the Mayo Clinic Center for Individualized Medicine.
This test will first be deployed at Mayo Clinic's Arizona campus, followed by its Florida and Minnesota campuses.
