MDxHealth SA (NYSE Euronext: MDXH), a leading molecular diagnostic company that develops and commercializes epigenetic tests to support cancer treatment, and PLUS Diagnostics today announced that they have entered into an agreement to co-promote MDxHealth's ConfirmMDx™ for Prostate Cancer test in the United States.

PLUS Diagnostics, a leading U.S. anatomic pathology company that offers a full range of multi-specialty services, will build awareness of ConfirmMDx for Prostate Cancer, through its national network of urologists.

"We are excited to combine forces with one of the leading anatomic pathology providers in the U.S. PLUS Diagnostics is highly regarded for its extensive pathology expertise and premier testing services, and has built strong relationships with urologists. The national reach afforded by PLUS Diagnostics provides a direct channel into the urology community and will aid in meeting the growing demand for our test," said Dr. Jan Groen, CEO of MDxHealth.

"Our company is dedicated to providing our customers with the highest quality tests and services that meet their unique needs for diagnosing and treating their patients. We are impressed with the support of key opinion leaders from prominent academic institutions and the body of published scientific evidence that MDxHealth has generated. We believe this test will improve the standard of care for patients with negative prostate biopsies," said David Pauluzzi, CEO of PLUS Diagnostics.
