PARSIPPANY, NJ, Oct. 29, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Interpace (IDXG) announced today that it will be presenting new data on the performance of its molecular thyroid products at the upcoming 89th Annual Meeting of the American Thyroid Association (ATA), being held October 30th to November 3rd, 2019 in Chicago, IL. The ATA meeting is one of the largest gatherings of endocrinologists, ENTs, surgeons and other providers who focus on the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid cancer.
Interpace will be presenting three separate posters focused on the performance of the companys molecular tests for indeterminate thyroid nodules, ThyGeNEXT and ThyraMIR, and are titled:
Together these posters underline the clinical utility of ThyGeNEXT and ThyraMIR in assessing the risk of thyroid nodules with indeterminate cytology results progressing to cancer. They also highlight progress made by the Company to provide quality diagnostic information for the detection of aggressive forms of thyroid cancer.
Jack Stover, CEO of Interpace, stated, We are pleased that our data has been accepted for presentation in this prestigious forum and look forward to sharing our work with such an established group of attendees. Mr. Stover continued, The acceptance of our data supports our belief that our molecular products continue to add value to physicians and patients at risk of thyroid cancer.
About Thyroid Nodules, ThyGeNEXT and ThyraMIR Testing
According to the American Thyroid Association, approximately 20% of the 525,000 thyroid fine needle aspirations (FNAs) performed on an annual basis in the U.S. are indeterminate for malignancy based on standard cytological evaluation, and thus are candidates for ThyGeNEXT and ThyraMIR.
ThyGeNEXT and ThyraMIR reflex testing yields high predictive value in determining the presence and absence of cancer in thyroid nodules. The combination of both tests can improve risk stratification and surgical decision-making when standard cytopathology does not provide a clear diagnosis.
ThyGeNEXT utilizes state-of-the-art next-generation sequencing (NGS) to identify more than 100 genetic alterations associated with papillary and follicular thyroid carcinomas, the two most common forms of thyroid cancer, as well as Meduallary Thyroid Carcinoma. ThyraMIR is the first microRNA gene expression classifier. MicroRNAs are small, non-coding RNAs that bind to messenger RNA and regulate expression of genes involved in human cancers, including every subtype of thyroid cancer. ThyraMIR measures the expression of 10 microRNAs. Both ThyGeNEXT and ThyraMIR are covered by both Medicare and Commercial insurers, with more than 280 million patients covered.
