Company Summary

4D Lifetec is a multi-cancer liquid biopsy company based in Switzerland with planned operations in the US. 4D’s non-genomic assay 4D Lifetest™ has shown the potential in first clinical trials to detect the most relevant types of cancer from a blood sample with high sensitivity and remarkably earlier than genomic assays. It is therefore one of the first tests to fulfill a central promise of cancer liquid biopsy.
