Agendia to Present Multiple Predictive and Prognostic Studies on Breast and Colorectal Cancers at ASCO Annual Meeting

Huntington Beach, California and Amsterdam (ots/PRNewswire)

Agendia, a world leader in molecular cancer diagnostics, today
announced that leading researchers from Agendia, the University of
California San Francisco and the Netherlands Cancer Institute will
present data from multiple studies at the American Society of
Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting, May 29 - June 2, 2009, in Orlando,
Florida.
The study results further underpin the broad predictive and
prognostic power of Agendia's breast cancer recurrence test
MammaPrint(R) and highlight promising data on Agendia's new colon
cancer recurrence test, ColoPrint(TM). Visitors can meet the Agendia
team in booth #2014 and study results will be discussed at the
following sessions:

About MammaPrint(R)
MammaPrint is the first 'in vitro diagnostic multivariate index
assay' (IVDMIA) cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA). FDA clearance requires clinical and analytical validation and
reporting systems to ensure patient safety issues are addressed.
Highly accurate, MammaPrint identifies patients with early
metastasis-patients who are likely to develop metastases within five
years following surgery. Several authoritative studies have shown
that chemotherapy particularly reduces early metastasis risk. In
planning treatment, the MammaPrint test results provide doctors with
a clear rationale to assess the benefit of chemotherapy in addition
to other clinical information and pathology tests.
All MammaPrint tests are conducted in Agendia's CLIA-accredited
service laboratory. Breast cancer recurrence assays currently
marketed by other manufacturers have not been subject to the rigorous
FDA clearance process.
