Groundbreaking innovations in molecular profiling and targeted therapy are unlocking more precise and personalised approaches to diagnosis and treatment, transforming cancer patients’ fight against the disease. Our latest technology innovations range from allele-specific PCR, which can detect specific single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) in a patient's DNA, to next-generation sequencing (NGS) and more traditional methods like Sanger sequencing for detecting unknown mutations in genes. These tools allow us to identify known mutations that have implications for treatment decisions, and provide valuable information about single-nucleotide changes. Combined with targeted therapy, we are able to enhance treatment effectiveness while minimising damage to healthy cells and support a better quality of care and life for cancer patients. We interview with Unilabs’ Dr Jana Verebová on molecular testing and new cancer diagnostic tests here: https://lnkd.in/e4ftsHTY As research advances, we expect more targeted therapies and broader molecular testing, which will further transform cancer treatment and prognosis. #Cancer #Oncology #Healthcare

AI is revolutionising medical fields like radiology by streamlining diagnostic processes, enhancing productivity, and ultimately improving patient outcomes. We spoke with Dr Stavroula Kyriazi, MD, clinical lead for the emergency radiology section at Unilabs’ AI Centre of Excellence, to explore these developments in-depth, focusing on how healthcare professionals are navigating this new frontier of AI-assisted healthcare. At Unilabs, our AI solutions are enhancing detection of over 100 different conditions, including brain aneurysms, tumours and haemorrhages, with three significant AI radiology solutions looking at CT Intracranial angiograms, covering images with and without contrast. An additional three of our innovative AI applications are frequently used in emergency brain CT scanning. Over 250,000 Unilabs examinations have been AI-assisted to date. Read about the intersection between radiology and AI as well as Dr Kyriazi’s insights in our interview here: https://lnkd.in/eJMfWRNV #AI #Radiology #Tech #Healthcare

“What I find most enjoyable in my work is the significant variation in daily tasks. We receive a wide range of specimens, and it takes time to gain experience and encounter the different variations, so we often seek advice from colleagues, which also makes the work interesting and challenging.” – Unilabs Biomedical Analyst Katarina Huhmarniemi In the second instalment of our series spotlighting Unilabs pathology technicians from across the world, we spoke to Biomedical Analyst Katarina Huhmarniemi in Sweden about her work and the measures taken to guarantee accuracy and precision in laboratory procedures.

Understanding genetic factors in hereditary cancer helps tailor proactive management and preventive measures, aiming for the best possible patient outcomes and support. Some cancers have a stronger genetic predisposition, with hereditary syndromes making up around 3-20% of all cancer cases. Unilabs provides oncogenetic consultations which can unlock possible risk-reducing interventions and provide informed clinical decisions for the patient. Developments in next-generation sequencing allow us to quickly analyse multiple genes at once, helping identify harmful gene changes linked to hereditary cancers. Additionally, new treatments like PARP inhibitors and checkpoint inhibitors show promise for cancers with specific genetic mutations.
