Cytophone Liquid Biopsy Aims for Early Detection of Metastatic Melanoma

Cytoastra’s trial in Madison is evaluating the Cytophone—a noninvasive photoacoustic flow cytometry tool that detects and counts circulating melanoma cells—to provide an early risk assessment of metastasis. This study will correlate CTC counts with melanoma recurrence and treatment efficacy, potentially enabling earlier intervention than current methods.
