created to perform. We are able to leverage cutting-edge technology for the direct, real-world benefit of patients by helping their physicians make more informed decisions regarding their treatment," said CMM Executive Director Dr. Daniel H. Farkas. "We are very pleased to be one of a select number of facilities in the world offering the test, and look forward to helping the region's medical community put it to good use."
The CellSearch System, which is distributed by Veridex, a Johnson & Johnson company, was cleared by the FDA in January 2004 as an in vitro diagnostic test to aid in the identifying and counting of CTCs in a blood sample. Pricing for the test is $495 and CMM is working with area insurance providers regarding coverage. Physicians interested in obtaining more information may contact CMM directly at 616-391-4330 or visit http://www.cmmdx.org/physicians.
