The Billion-Dollar Pivot: Why Big Pharma is Abandoning ctDNA for Viable CTC Isolation

Viable CTC isolation process using automated label-free microfluidic filtration systems for next-generation liquid biopsy in 2026.

The global oncology market is facing an aggressive reallocation of capital. For nearly a decade, liquid biopsy investments heavily favored standard circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA test) infrastructures. However, as next-generation targeted modalities like ADCs and PROTACs dominate pipelines in 2026, the structural limits of sequencing fragmented, dead genetic materials have exposed severe clinical gaps.
