RUTHERFORD, N.J., May 5, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cancer Genetics, Inc. (Nasdaq:CGIX) ("CGI" or the "Company"), an emerging leader in DNA-based diagnostics, today announced it has received CLIA and New York state approvals for clinical use of its proprietary mature B-cell neoplasm array, or MatBA® for Follicular Lymphoma (MatBA®-FL) and Mantle-Cell Lymphoma (MatBA®-MCL). Both tests further extend the portfolio in hematologic cancers being developed by CGI and both were developed and validated via a research collaboration with Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. MatBA®-FL and MatBA®-MCL assist clinicians in the prognosis of Follicular Lymphoma (FL) and Mantle-Cell Lymphoma (MCL). MatBA®-FL identifies genomic aberrations that are associated with the high frequency of transformation of FL into Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) and shorter overall survival (OS). MatBA®-MCL identifies genomic aberrations that are associated with high frequency of either a leukemic involvement and/or shorter OS. Understanding the potential outcome for the patient is critical in making informed choices about treatment selection, clinical trial involvement and patient management.
