NeoGenomics Enters into Strategic Supply Agreement with Abbott for Development of a Melanoma Cancer Test
Date:7/24/2009

FT. MYERS, Fla., July 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NeoGenomics, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: NGNM), a leading provider of cancer genetics testing services announced today that it has entered into a Strategic Supply Agreement with Abbott (NYSE: ABT).

The agreement may be expanded, under certain circumstances, to include up to two additional tests for other cancers.

Melanoma typically starts as an abnormal mole on the skin and is easily cured if caught and removed early. Once it spreads to other parts of the body, however, it is particularly deadly. NeoGenomics intends to develop a FISH test to distinguish benign versus malignant melanoma. The goal for the new test is to provide the ability to more accurately diagnose malignant melanoma and provide more accurate prognostic information, thus assisting dermatologists in better managing patient care.
