FREMONT, Calif., Feb. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Vermillion, Inc. (Nasdaq: VRML), a high-value molecular diagnostics company, has received the Society for Gynecologic Oncologists (SGO) Basic Science Poster Award for its abstract, "Prospective independent validation of a marker panel for distinguishing benign from malignant pelvic masses." The abstract, which demonstrated that the Company's Ovarian Tumor Triage Test correctly identified 84 percent of ovarian cancer cases compared to only 33 percent identified using standard diagnosis methods without the test, was presented at the SGO's 38th Annual Meeting on Women's Cancer last year in San Diego.

In addition to receiving the award, Vermillion will present posters from three studies highlighting progress in the Company's ovarian cancer diagnostic program at this year's annual SGO meeting being held March 9-12 at the Tampa Convention Center in Tampa, Florida.
