The growth in personalized medicine has led to increased interest in companion diagnostics (CDx) tests or tests that match the right therapy to the patient...A new analysis from Frost & Sullivan (London, United Kingdom) finds that the CDx market earned revenues of USD 457 million in 2013 and estimates this to reach USD 1,295.1 million in 2018, at a compound annual growth rate of 23.2 %. .. Limited regulatory barriers for drug and diagnostic combination products, which the current in vitro diagnostic directive classifies under the low-risk category, are easing market access. As nearly all diagnostic tests in Europe belong to the low risk category, they are exempt from pre-market evaluation. As a result, manufacturers tend to self-assess conformity, self-certify CDx products, and CE mark them before sale in the European market. This laid-back process has resulted in a higher rate of approval of new CDx tests and products.”

Superbugs and the role of diagnostics explained | MedTech Views
The discussion over superbugs moved center stage earlier this month when British Prime Minister David Cameron launched a global review of the crisis. “If we fail to act, we are looking at an almost unthinkable scenario where antibiotics no longer work and we are cast back into the dark ages of medicine where treatable infections and injuries will kill once again,” Mr Cameron noted... Realising the role of in vitro diagnostics in tackling antibiotic resistance, ... a side-event at the WHO’s World Health Assembly was hosted “The Fight Against Antimicrobial Resistance: Are Diagnostics Winning?” The event identified existing gaps in tackling AMR while highlighting the role of diagnostics.
