New Studies Demonstrate Clinical Utility and Validity of CancerType ID® Molecular Classifier
Date:3/22/2012

tts General Hospital (MGH).

The same researchers also evaluated the use of CancerTYPE ID to predict the site of origin for primary and metastatic tumors with neuroendocrine differentiation (USCAP 2012 Abstract # 604). Findings from this analysis indicated CancerTYPE ID may address an unmet medical need as a molecular correlate for sub-typing neuroendocrine tumors. The ability to subtype neuroendocrine tumors, among the most difficult to determine, has important implications for grading, staging and disease management.

"The 92-gene classifier demonstrated excellent accuracy for subtyping tumors with neuroendocrine differentiation," said Mark Erlander, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer of bioTheranostics. "While these results were part of a larger parent study designed to characterize performance of the classifier in a broad range of tumor histologies, these findings show promise for use of the 92-gene assay in classifying neuroendocrine tumors of uncertain primary site."

"In these recent studies, CancerTYPE ID's accuracy was also noted in both metastatic as well as poorly differentiated primary tumors, and its diagnostic value was maintained even in situations where there was limited tissue," said Richard Ding, Chief Executive Officer of bioTheranostics. "We believe this is an important step in discovering where a molecular classifier, such as CancerTYPE ID, fits in the diagnostic picture as an accurate, objective and time-saving adjunctive pathology asset. We appreciate the independent and growing support from pathologists in utilizing CancerTYPE ID as a standardized diagnostic aid in their workup of metastatic cancers."
