Empowered by Velsera's Knowledge Base and Tumor Profiling Expertise Across U.S. Laboratories

BOSTON, Sept. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Velsera, a leading global healthcare technology company, is excited to announce that our advanced tumor profiling technology is a key component of the knowledge base that supports the Illumina TruSight Oncology (TSO) Comprehensive IVD results report. The knowledge base of TSO Comprehensive integrates Velsera's cutting-edge tumor profiling technology, enhancing patient care by enabling personalized treatment nationwide.

The collaboration between Velsera and Illumina, initiated in December 2018, was driven by a shared vision to advance cancer diagnostics and enhance the accessibility of targeted therapeutics. Velsera's Knowledge Base (KB) is integral to the TSO Comprehensive test, empowering laboratories to adopt NGS-based diagnostics with greater ease and precision.
