Chief Executive Andrew Newland said: "The results presented at SGO are a major endorsement for ANGLE. The excellent performance of ANGLE's Parsortix system in this large scale clinical study for the detection of ovarian cancer demonstrates the capability of ANGLE's CTC system to out-perform current approaches for the detection of ovarian cancer.

"ANGLE is now working to bring this clinical application to the market. This study is an exemplar of the level of accuracy that can be achieved with the Parsortix liquid biopsy tests as we simultaneously progress applications in metastatic breast cancer and prostate cancer."
