LabCorp licenses cancer detection technology from Duke University

Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings has entered into an exclusive license agreement with Duke University Medical Center to commercialize Duke's new blood-based assay for early detection of lung cancer.

The Duke technology is based on a collection of serum proteins associated with the biology of lung cancer.

Myla Lai-Goldman, executive vice president and medical director of LabCorp, said: “New diagnostic tools are required for lung cancer and this technology has the potential to stratify patients that may need more aggressive follow-up treatment and monitoring.”
