RUTHERFORD, N.J. and SAN DIEGO, March 5, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cancer Genetics, Inc. (Nasdaq:CGIX) ("CGI") announced today the results of a collaborative study conducted with The Cleveland Clinic to validate CGI's kidney cancer microarray test. The CGI kidney cancer microarray facilitates the diagnosis, sub-typing, and outcome prediction of kidney cancer patients. This study demonstrated that the diagnostic sensitivity of the test is 93%, with 99% specificity.
