Rarity Bioscience’s Linus Bosaeus and Feri Shahin was at the Nordic Precision Medicine Forum in Stockholm, to present the engaging study Ultra-sensitive Monitoring of Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) for Cancer Patients, using superRCA Mutation Assays with Flow Cytometry Readout that highlights the latest advancements in precision oncology.
- Poster: “Ultra-sensitive Monitoring of Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) for Cancer Patients, using superRCA Mutation Assays with Flow Cytometry Readout”
- The study explores the utility of a flow-based superRCA assay for detecting circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, aiming to establish non-invasive biomarkers for cancer recurrence monitoring.
superRCA vs the traditional routine
Testing for solid tumors often require invasive procedures like tissue biopsies, sometimes from difficult areas such as the brain. Rarity Bioscience aspires to change that with its superRCA™ technology, where a simple blood biopsy could suffice instead. Analyzing the circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in blood plasma, this novel method could offer a non-invasive, efficient approach, simplifying workflows and providing patients with quicker, more affordable, and accessible testing options.

An ultra-sensitive testing technology
The superRCA’s unparalleled ultra-sensitive capabilities enable the detection of even single nucleotide mutations, with a sensitivity of 1 mutation in 100,000 wild types. This is typically 10-100 times more sensitive for these applications than gold standard technologies like qPCR, ddPCR, NGS, and traditional liquid biopsy assays.

Poster Presentation
We feel proud to have attended the conference and the study we presented on Colorectal Cancer patients. In our latest publication, we have demonstrated our assay’s sensitivity in detecting mutations from liquid biopsy materials like blood samples with multiplex capabilities.
