Highlights of the First Quarter 2011

In January 2011, the results of the first phase of a new clinical study on DiagnoCure's Previstage^TM GCC Colorectal Cancer Staging Test, called VITAR (Validating Indicators To Associate Recurrence Risk), were presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium by the study Principal Investigator, Daniel Sargent, PhD, Professor of Biostatistics and Oncology at Mayo Clinic. The study included 241 stage II colon cancer patients from six North American clinical sites and aimed at further classifying the risk of recurrence of these patients. Stage II colon cancer patients are considered as low risk by traditional methods yet with an average recurrence rate of 20%. In this population, the study demonstrated that Previstage^TM GCC can stratify patients into high and low risk of recurrence groups, thereby providing relevant and more accurate clinical information for physicians to make more personalized treatment decisions.
