AUREON UNVEILS PROSTATE CANCER TEST

May
19

Aureon Laboratories Inc. of Yonkers said it has introduced Prostate Px®+, a commercial test to predict prostate cancer progression and disease recurrence.
The test will forecast disease progression after treatment, and will detect high-risk patients that appear as low risk and undetectable by other methods, said Dr. Ricardo Mesa-Tejada, vice president of pathology and medical director of Aureon. The test also can reclassify intermediate-risk patients, and help identify those with less aggressive forms of the disease, he said.
The announcement was made at the American Urological Association annual meeting at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla.
