OncoDefender-CRC, which measures the expression of colorectal cancer-specific genes, is a prognostic test capable of predicting the risk of recurrence in patients previously treated with surgical resection of a stage I/II colon cancer tumor or stage I rectal cancer tumor. The company will officially launch the test later this month, according to the news release.
