TUSTIN, CA--(Marketwire - June 22, 2011) - Radient Pharmaceuticals Corporation “RPC” or “the Company” (NYSE Amex: RPC), a developer and global marketer of In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) cancer tests, today announced it will be an exhibitor at the Colon Cancer Alliance’s National Conference in Denver, Colorado from June 23-25. The conference’s theme, “Family Matters: What Every Family Needs to Know About Colon Cancer,” is designed for families, survivors, caregivers, and all others affected by colon cancer.
The Colon Cancer Alliance (CCA) is the oldest and largest national patient advocacy organization dedicated to ending the suffering caused by colorectal cancer. In order to increase rates of screening and survivorship, the CCA provides patient support, public education, supports research, and conducts advocacy work across America.
The conference agenda will include national experts who will discuss topics specific to colon cancer including genetic risks, designing a treatment plan, advanced disease treatment options, and tips for living with colon cancer.
RPC’s Onko-Sure® IVD is a simple, non-invasive blood test used both for monitoring colorectal cancer (CRC) during treatment and for post-treatment CRC recurrence monitoring. Onko-Sure® is cleared by the US FDA. Clinical studies show that Onko-Sure®, when used in combination with Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA), the current marker which is the standard of care, increases accuracy rates by up to 20%, particularly in Stage I and Stage II.
“Presenting Onko-Sure® to key stakeholders at the Colon Cancer Alliance’s National Conference is very important to us. These CRC patients, their family members, and doctors are key decision makers looking for better solutions in the diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer. We are advocating for the use of Onko-Sure® in conjunction with CEA, which has been adopted as the standard of care, as the combination of these tests produces superior accuracy, leading to better patient outcomes,” stated RPC’s CEO Mr. Douglas MacLellan. “Furthermore, we will be engaged in a conference that is attended and sponsored by some of the leading names in global healthcare.”
