To better understand this change in Carmen's state of health, Dr Torres called SYNLAB's Dr Garcia and his team to explore the full range of diagnostic options. Dr Garcia suggested an innovative liquid biopsy; an ultra sensitive test that is able to detect the DNA from a tumour through blood samples, thus avoiding any surgical procedures and providing highly detailed insights.

The biopsy results suggested that Carmen became resistant to her prior therapy. Based on the very precise analysis derived from the biopsy, Dr Torres had a clear picture of Carmen's specific form of cancer and could recommend an alternative therapy. After only a short time, Carmen's symptoms and suffering decreased while her quality of life significantly increased again.
