Mm-stRNA test

upin humans1

1 study
  1. Mm-stRNA test predicts advanced precancerous lesions in humans (versus FIT alone) (97.1% vs 76.5%/70.6% CRC sensitivity, 83.8% vs 45.6%/36.8% APL sensitivity).

Circulating tumor DNA

upin humans1

1 study
  1. Circulating tumor DNA predicts advanced precancerous lesions in humans (advanced precancerous lesions screening) (sensitivity 0.13 (95% CI 0.12-0.14), specificity 0.90 (95% CI 0.88-0.91)).

    “For APL, pooled sensitivity was 0.13 (95% CI 0.12-0.14) and specificity 0.90 (95% CI 0.88-0.91).”

NDRG4 methylation

upin humans1

1 study
  1. NDRG4 methylation is associated with advanced precancerous lesions in humans (advanced precancerous lesion vs normal control tissue) (higher in APL vs normal controls; P < 0.0001 in both 45-49 and 50-64 groups).

    “NDRG4 levels were also statistically higher in APL case versus normal control samples in both the 45-49 (P < 0.0001) and 50-64 (P < 0.0001) year age groups.”
