Rosetta Genomics to Present Multiple Posters at the Annual American Association of Cancer Research (AACR) ...( REHOVOT Israel and JERSEY CITY Ne...)

REHOVOT, Israel and JERSEY CITY, New Jersey, April 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Rosetta Genomics Ltd. (Nasdaq:ROSG), a leader in the development of microRNA-based diagnostics and therapeutics, announced today it will present multiple posters at the upcoming annual AACR conference in San Diego. The posters will include data on Rosetta Genomics' unique microRNA-based technologies and how they may be applied to develop objective and standardized diagnostic tests and therapeutics for cancer. The event will take place on April 12-16 at the San Diego Convention Center, California.

Presented posters:

1. "A microRNA-based diagnostic assay for non-small cell lung cancer"; Sunday April 13, exhibit hall B-F, poster section 7, poster board 6, abstract #946.

Rosetta Genomics has shown that a single microRNA can differentiate squamous from non squamous NSCLC with high sensitivity and specificity. The ability of physicians to accurately differentiate squamous from non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is an important treatment guide. Bevacizumab(1), an angiogenesis inhibitor and an important new modality of therapy for non-squamous NSCLC, includes a black-box warning about substantially higher rates of severe or fatal hemorrhage among patients with squamous NSCLC histology compared with non-squamous NSCLC.

2. "Identification of tumor origin using microRNA signature"; Wednesday April 16, exhibit hall B-F, poster section 2, poster board 1, abstract #5039. Each year approximately 70,000 patients in the United States are diagnosed with cancer of unknown primary (CUP). Accurately identifying the origin of a metastasis can be critical in guiding treatment decisions. Rosetta Genomics scientists have designed a classifier w
