GC Genome to Present the Brand New Liquid Biopsy Platform for Cancer Detection at AACR Annual Meeting 2023

YONGIN, South Korea, April 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- GC Genome Corporation, a leading diagnostics company, today announced that the company will present data showcasing the deep learning algorithm that detects and classifies multi-cancer using methylation information and genomic data at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2023 in Orlando, Florida.

"We're excited to present our new data of the methylation-based deep learning platform which has the potential use in early cancer detection," said Eun-Hae Cho, Chief Technology Officer at GC Genome Research Center, "The poster to be presented at this year's AACR meeting demonstrates a major step forward in our research and provide an opportunity for higher accuracy by integrating methylation information and genomic data contributing to better-informed patient care."

The poster highlights the algorithm that detects the existence of 7 major cancers (△breast cancer △ liver cancer △esophageal cancer △pancreatic cancer △colon cancer △ovarian cancer △lung cancer) using cell-free Whole genome Enzymatic Methyl sequencing (cfWEMseq) data. The researchers predicted the probability of cancer by integrating different types of cf-DNA methylation and genomic features including genome-wide chromatin pattern and mutation signatures using deep learning-based models.

Poster Presentation:

  • Title: Deep learning algorithm for cancer detection using multimodal characteristics of whole methylome sequencing of cf-DNA https://aacrjournals.org/cancerres/article/83/7_Supplement/6697/719084/Abstract-6697-Deep-learning-algorithm-for-cancer?searchresult=1 
  • Session Title: Liquid Biopsies Circulating Nucleic Acids and Circulating Tumor Cells 5
  • Date and Time: Wednesday Apr 19, 2023, 9:00 AM - 12:30 PM ET
  • Location: Poster Section 40
  • Poster Board Number: 17
  • Abstract Number: 6697
