“We are pleased that SelectMDx has joined ConfirmMDx in the NCCN guidelines and believe this is an important milestone and serves as additional validation for the clinical utility and importance of using biomarker tools in the detection of prostate cancer,” said Michael McGarrity, CEO of MDxHealth. “Our prostate cancer menu of tests can and will help improve patient outcomes.”

SelectMDx® for Prostate Cancer
SelectMDx for Prostate Cancer is a proprietary urine-based, molecular diagnostic test that offers a non-invasive liquid biopsy method to assess a patient’s risk for prostate cancer. SelectMDx helps identify men at increased risk of harboring aggressive, potentially lethal, prostate cancer who may benefit most from a prostate biopsy and earlier detection. The test delivers a negative predictive value (NPV) of 95% for clinically significant disease, helping to reduce the need for MRI procedures and invasive prostate biopsies by up to 50%, thereby reducing healthcare costs. The test has been included in the NCCN and European Association of Urology (EAU) clinical guidelines.
