Agendia is a leading molecular diagnostics company that develops and markets genomic-based products that improve the quality of life for cancer patients and simplifies complex treatment decisions for their physicians.

Symphony includes MammaPrint, the first and only FDA-cleared IVDMIA breast cancer recurrence assay, as well as BluePrint, a molecular subtyping assay, TargetPrint®, an ER/PR/HER2 gene expression assay, and TheraPrint®, a therapy selection assay.
