Thursday, March 2, 2023

LAGUNA HILLS, Calif., March 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Prelude Corporation (PreludeDx™), a leader in molecular diagnostics and precision medicine for early-stage breast cancer, today announced it will be presenting data comparing risk stratification and radiation benefit (RT) for patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) using DCISionRT™ with a clinicopathologic (CP) model similar to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) DCIS nomogram at the 40th Annual Miami Breast Cancer Conference (MBCC), being held on March 2 – 5, 2023 at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach.

Key Points: 
  • The study included 926 DCIS patients from four cohorts who were treated with breast conserving surgery (BCS) or BCS + radiation therapy (RT).
  • The study compared MSKCC DCIS nomogram-like model with the DCISionRT 7-gene biosignature.
  • "DCISionRT provides us the clinical evidence to identify which DCIS patients, despite having low-risk clinicopathologic features, can actually benefit from RT and which patients may safely omit RT."
  • The registry includes females 26 and older who are diagnosed with DCIS and are candidates for BCS and eligible for RT.
