Lymph: The next frontier in liquid biopsy

Identifying recurrence risk before cancer spreads

The centrality of the lymphatic system in metastasis has been recognized for over fifty years.

The lymphatic system regulates immune responses to pathogens and cancer, making lymph fluid a rich, proximal source of lymphocytes, protein and other biomarkers.

Unlike blood, it has never been feasible to access patient lymph routinely for research or diagnosis.

Until now.

Droplet has pioneered a platform to harvest and profile patient lymph through the routine collection of surgical drain fluid.
