Cancer of Unknown Primary (CUP) - This test is designed to assist clinicians to accurately identify the origin of metastases. In 3%-5% of all cancer patients, clinicians cannot identify the origin of a patients' tumor. This information is crucial for determining treatment type. Rosetta Genomics has developed a panel of microRNA biomarkers potentially able to identify approximately thirty cancers
"Our proprietary microRNA detection and quantitation technologies are at the heart of our sensitive diagnostic products," noted Amir Avniel, President and CEO of Rosetta Genomics." Using very small amounts of tissue samples or body fluids, we are able to detect microRNAs on the order of single molecules, as well as differentiate microRNAs with only a single nucleotide mismatch. We look forward to the launch of our first diagnostic products in 2008."
