IRVINE, California and AMSTERDAM, December 15, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Agendia, a world leader in molecular cancer diagnostics, announced today that together with principal investigators from Spain, the UK, and the Netherlands, it has published the first independent validation study of its colon cancer recurrence test "ColoPrint" in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. The authors conclude that ColoPrint significantly improves prognostic accuracy over assessment solely based on pathologic factors and microsatellite instability in patients with stage II and III colorectal cancer. In combination with classical pathological criteria, ColoPrint facilitates the identification of stage II patients who may be safely managed without chemotherapy.
