The Molecular Profiling Institute Launches Mammostrat - A Novel, Molecular-targeted, Prognostic Test For Breast Cancer Patients

September 20, 2007 – 3:13 am | posted in Public Health

The Molecular Profiling Institute, Inc. (Molecular Profiling) announced that they are now providing Mammostrat, a new molecular-targeted breast prognostic test, to breast cancer patients, nationwide. The Mammostrat prognostic test utilizes five immunohistochemical (IHC) biomarkers to classify patients into high-, moderate-, or low-risk categories for disease recurrence. Robert Penny, M.D., Ph.D., the Chairman and CEO of the Molecular Profiling Institute stated, “Mammostrat will benefit the care of breast cancer patients nationwide by allowing their cancer to be quickly analyzed for prognosis by a direct light-microscopic evaluation of the cancer cells by a pathologist. This new test, which is performed on tissue preserved according to st…
