Lucence stated that the LiquidHALLMARK test would be performed in its CAP-accredited, CLIA-certified labs.

Lucence founding CEO and medical director Dr Min-Han Tan said: “We are extremely eager to embark on this partnership with Omnigen who is a leading provider of oncology solutions in Turkey at the bridge of Europe and Asia.

“Our mission is to serve patients worldwide with quick, reliable and affordable answers for cancer care.”

According to the company, Turkey saw more than 230,000 new cancer cases in 2020.

Lucence noted that its LiquidHALLMARK test had been validated in breast, lung, and colorectal cancers, which are the most common types in the region.

Omnigen general manager and CEO Ali Kilinc said: “NGS tests constitute a large part of the cancer diagnostics market in Turkey.

“These tests shed light on alternative treatments for patients who do not respond to standard treatment.”
