PARSIPPANY, N.J., May 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -Interpace Diagnostics Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDXG) (the "Company" or "Interpace Diagnostics"), a fully integrated commercial company that provides clinically useful molecular diagnostic tests and pathology services for improved patient diagnosis and management, announced today the acceptance of 6 abstracts that will be presented as posters at the upcoming Digestive Disease Week (DDW) meeting being held May 6th-9th, 2017 in Chicago, Illinois. Three abstracts address the utility of PancraGENTM in assessing long-term risk of malignancy in pancreatic cystic lesions and clinical scenarios in which such testing is most impactful. The conclusions are supported by data based on real-world clinical practice and patient outcomes and include 370 patients who underwent multiple PancraGEN tests over the course of 3 years. Three additional posters describe the expanded use of PancraGEN as an ancillary test for solid lesions of the pancreas and bile duct using the company's unique method for testing free-DNA obtained from bile duct brushings and fine needle aspirates. Notably, the abstracts describe results from a registry study of over 200 patients and a prospective study of 100 patients who received such testing.
