MDxHealth SA, announced that it has entered into an agreement with Duke University Health System regarding the use of its ConfirmMDx for Prostate Cancer test. The test is approved for the management of men with a previous negative prostate biopsy who may be at risk for undetected cancer and are being considered for a repeat biopsy.
"It is critical that well-validated tests, especially those included in the NCCN Guidelines for the early detection of prostate cancer, are available to patients," stated Judd W Moul, MD, FACS, James H Semans Professor of Surgery, Professor of Anesthesiology, Division of Urology, Department of Surgery, Duke Cancer Institute, Duke University Medical Center. "This test is designed to identify low-risk men who may forego an unnecessary repeat biopsy procedure, but as importantly, the test may help identify men who are at increased risk for high-grade prostate cancer, meriting repeat biopsy and early intervention."
"Duke Urology is consistently ranked among the top ten hospital urology programs by US News & World Reports, and we are pleased to support the care of their patients with our ConfirmMDx test," stated Dr. Jan Groen, Chief Executive Officer of MDxHealth. "Notably, ConfirmMDx is now available to patients at eight of the top ten hospital urology programs in the US."
