Dr Rowan Miller, Clinical Director for Oncology at The London Clinic said,
“We know that cancer treatment outcomes are hugely influenced by accurate and early diagnosis, and it’s crucial we give our doctors the tools they need to predict if patients will respond to potentially life-saving medicines. The qualities of OBD’s accurate PSE and CiRT tests align with our commitment to providing cutting-edge innovation and excellence in personalised patient care. Both of these tests can play an important part in helping our doctors and patients save valuable time in making an informed decision about their health, and getting on track to receiving the required care.”
What are the tests?Â
OBD’s EpiSwitch PSE test is a blood test that boosts the predictive accuracy of a standard PSA test from 55% to 94% when testing for the presence or absence of prostate cancer, which was launched in the UK and US in September 2023 (see www.94percent.com). The PSE test is the culmination of nearly ten years of collaborative work between OBD, Imperial College London, the University of East Anglia, Imperial College NHS Trust, and leading UK prostate cancer experts, as part of the PROSTAGRAM screening pilot. As well as a high 94% accuracy, PSE offers high specificity, 97% (standard PSA alone: 53%), and high sensitivity, 86% (PSA: 64%), as well as high positive, 93% (PSA: 25%1), and high negative, 95% (PSA: 86%1) predictive values to assess the risk of prostate cancer in men, published in the peer-reviewed publicatio
