bioTheranostics, Inc., a bioMérieux company that develops innovative oncology diagnostic tests to drive personalized treatment, today announced clinical study findings that link CancerTYPE ID® molecular testing with improved patient outcome. Patients in which CancerTYPE ID predicted a colorectal site of origin that subsequently received site-specific therapy had a median survival three times that of what has been reported in patients treated empirically for cancer of unknown primary (CUP). These results make CancerTYPE ID the only marketed molecular cancer classifier to demonstrate therapeutic response and patient benefit based on molecular tumor profiling.
