IRVINE, Calif. and HERSTAL, Belgium, Jan. 5, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MDxHealth SA (Euronext: MDXH), a leading molecular diagnostic company that develops and commercializes epigenetic tests to improve the diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients, announced today that its CEO, Dr Jan Groen, will deliver a keynote presentation at the Biomarkers from Research to Clinic, Prognostic, Predictive & Point-of-Care Conference at 13:15 PST on January 15 in San Diego, CA, USA.
The presentation, "Epigenetic Biomarkers in Oncology", will highlight the development and commercialization of epigenetic diagnostic tests, several of which are now commercially available and used routinely in clinical practice.
All cancers show epigenetic changes. Measuring the epigenetic changes associated with specific genes can help guide physicians in the management of a patient's disease. With continued market adoption of the ConfirmMDx® for Prostate Cancer test, the inclusion of PredictMDx® for Glioblastoma into the NCCN guidelines, and the launch of Cologuard® for colon cancer by licensee Exact Sciences, there are now three successful diagnostic tests on the U.S. market using MDxHealth's epigenetic technology and biomarkers.
MDxHealth is a leading molecular diagnostic company that develops and commercializes epigenetic tests to support cancer treatment. The company's tests are based on proprietary gene methylation (epigenetics) technology and assist physicians with the diagnosis of cancer, prognosis of recurrence risk, and prediction of response to a specific therapy.
