Biocept, Inc. (Nasdaq: BIOC), a leading provider of molecular diagnostic assays, products and services, today announced the presentation of a multi-institutional case series showing that its CNSide™ cerebrospinal fluid assay helps physicians monitor treatment response and detects actionable mutations in patients with metastatic breast cancer and leptomeningeal disease (LMD).

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers associated with LMD, a devastating complication in which cancer spreads to the membrane surrounding the brain and spinal cord.

Median survival after a diagnosis of LMD is just two to three months.
