LifeSci Advisors, LLC (LSA) Publishes PCA3 Physician Survey Results

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - June 14, 2012) - LifeSci Advisors, LLC, a leading provider of investment research and investor relations services in the life sciences sector, today announced that it has published an independent survey of 273 practicing urologists who answered within two days on their expected use of PCA3 testing in men suspected of having prostate cancer. A PCA3 test received FDA approval in February of this year and is the first molecular test to help determine the need for repeat prostate biopsies in men who have had a previous negative biopsy.

“Based on the results of our proprietary survey we believe there is strong interest in the use of the test by both academic and community based urologists,” said Andrew I. McDonald, Ph.D., Founding Partner at LifeSci Advisors. “Almost half (49.6%) of the survey responders intend to test their patients with this assay, 47.4% report that they may use it, and only 4.1% do not expect to use the test. Awareness of the test is high and we received survey responses from the physicians in record time.”

DiagnoCure Inc. (TSX: CUR) owns the exclusive worldwide diagnostic rights to the PCA3 marker which predicts the results of repeat biopsies more accurately than traditional PSA serum tests, known to have very high false positive rates. PCA3 identifies patients at risk of prostate cancer following a first prostate biopsy and may help reduce unnecessary repeat prostate biopsies. DiagnoCure receives royalties on worldwide sales of the test.
