Products Offered by YD Bio
Laboratory Developed Test Service
YD Bio's Laboratory Developed Test (LDT) services intend to make cancer detection and monitoring easier and faster. It uses modern liquid biopsy technology to assess cfDNA and DNA methylation biomarkers in a blood sample. This offers clear and useful data that supports quicker clinical choices and better patient outcomes.
For pancreatic cancer, YD Bio provides a blood-based early detection test that addresses the difficulty of late diagnosis, which is the main cause of poor survival rates. The test detects cancer-related signals in the circulation by DNA methylation analysis, allowing diagnosis even before symptoms occur. Preclinical investigations conducted in Taiwan and Western populations have shown high accuracy, with detection rates of 93.8% in early-stage disease (Stages I and II) and 99.0% in advanced stages (Stages III and IV). The test just requires a standard blood draw, produces quick results, and is a more accessible and affordable option than scanning or surgical biopsy treatments. It is now available as an LDT from YD Bio's CAP-accredited and CLIA-certified laboratory.
YD Bio is developing the EG-Breast Blood Test-P1 for breast cancer patients to help with the continued tracking of the disease during and after treatment. By tracking specific methylation biomarkers like GCM2 and TMEM240, the test offers real-time information about treatment response and recurrence risk. The breast cancer tracking test is currently in clinical testing and has shown good early results. Together, these offerings highlight YD Bio's dedication to practical, patient-friendly cancer treatment solutions.
