ALAMEDA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Celera Corporation (NASDAQ:CRA) today announced the presentation of data describing a novel mass spectrometry-based approach to identify and validate circulating protein biomarkers that detect non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A key outcome of the study was the assembly of an immunoassay test for a panel of 6 biomarkers that detected lung cancer with 94% sensitivity and 93% specificity in a blinded analysis. In addition to detecting all stages of lung cancer studied and all major histological subtypes, the panel also accurately distinguished malignant cases from benign lung disease. The data will be presented from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. MDT today as poster #3542 at the 100th Annual American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Conference in Denver, CO.
