Lab-grown mini-tumours are already being sold to guide treatment, but the tests are not validated like other medical tests. They should be.
Functional drug-response assays are entering clinical use without the analytical validation (precision, repeatability, reference ranges, failure rate reporting) or clinical validation (prospective outcome correlation) required of companion diagnostics. The proposal is a formal assay validation framework, developed with regulators, defining minimum performance, standardised reporting of derivation success rate, and mandatory registry submission of predictions and outcomes.
