New Study From San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium Proves Innovative Marker Makes It Easier for Physicians to Detect and Remove Cancer Than Ever Before

Endomag

Research presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) has found that surgeons and radiologists are moving away from one of the oldest traditional methods for locating and removing breast cancer, in favour of newer and more innovative technologies. The seminal study found that since 2020, usage rates of the guidewire – the standard in breast cancer surgery for over 60 years - has fallen from 83% of physicians using the device, to just 18%. In comparison, the rise of a unique metallic seed called the Magseed® marker has seen its adoption levels soar to 49%, meaning it has replaced the guidewire as the most used method for cancer localization. Having gained FDA approval in 2015, the Magseed has helped over 250,000 patients worldwide to access minimally-invasive, wire-free breast cancer care. Gone are the days of a patient attending an early appointment to have a guidewire placed on the day of their surgery, and having to wait around the hospital until the time of operation. Now, patients have the option of the Magseed being placed into the cancerous tissue any time ahead of surgery, at a time that suits them, safe in the knowledge it won’t move and can be easily found when the surgery takes place at a later date. “This study demonstrates that the modern solutions to localization are providing such a vast improvement for patients and the physicians using them, that they have been able to be rapidly adopted across the hospital setting.” said Mr. James Harvey, Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon and author of the study presented at SABCS 2023. The study from SABCS also surveyed each of the participating surgeons and radiologists, to understand the quality of user experience for each of their chosen devices for localizing tumors. Participants were asked about a range of topics including the reliability of locating the device, accuracy of cancer removal and the logistical benefits that the technology provides to the hospital. Once again, the results showed a significant benefit in favour of the wire-free Magseed device. On average, radiologists gave the device 9/10 for overall satisfaction, while surgeons scored it 8/10. In comparison, the guidewire received 7/10 scores from both audiences. “This is the first study to demonstrate that radiologists and surgeons now find Magseed to be more effective in patient care and a significant improvement on prior technologies.” continued Mr. Harvey. It is also the first study to ascertain the advantages and disadvantages of each localization device against one another. The findings here could now have far-reaching implications for breast cancer treatment across the world. The shift towards Magseed as the preferred localization device indicates there is growing interest in new technologies that improve patient outcomes. The landscape is changing for breast surgery, and it’s helping to drive ongoing research and innovation in cancer care. -ENDS- Notes to Editors: In the study, participants were asked to rate a range of features on a scale from 1-10 (10 being the highest level of satisfaction). Please find poster attached alongside this press release. This iBRA-NET satisfaction study includes findings from 84 breast units (65% of all UK sites), and was published at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium on 7th December 2023. The Sentimag platform, along with Magseed marker and Magtrace lymphatic tracer, was developed by Endomag and is distributed by Mammotome in North America. More than 450,000 women have now received a better standard of breast cancer surgery with Endomag’s technologies. The Sentimag® is in use at over 1,000 hospitals in more than 45 countries across the world. About Us At Endomag, we believe everyone deserves a better standard of cancer care. That’s why we design our magnetic technologies with both the clinician and patient in mind. Many leading hospitals across the world use our unique solutions to help breast cancer patients avoid surgery when it isn’t needed, and experience better outcomes when it is. At the heart of the company’s technologies is the Sentimag® localization system. The Sentimag® system features a probe which works like a metal detector. When it is placed near the skin’s surface, it can detect Endomag’s magnetic seed marker (Magseed®) and liquid tracer (Magtrace®), for accurate lesion localization and sentinel lymph node biopsy procedures. Endomag’s technologies have already helped 450,000+ women worldwide to access more precise, and minimally invasive breast cancer treatment.

Cardio Diagnostics’ Breakthrough Coronary Heart Disease Detection Test Published In The Journal Of The American Heart Association

Cardio Diagnostics Holdings, Inc

By Jeremy Golden, Benzinga Cardio Diagnostics (NASDAQ: CDIO), a leader in artificial intelligence-driven precision cardiovascular medicine, has published a potentially revolutionary study in the Journal of the American Heart Association (JAHA). Conducted in collaboration with Intermountain Healthcare and University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, the publication details the development and validation of PrecisionCHD, a pioneering artificial intelligence-guided integrated genetic-epigenetic test for detecting coronary heart disease (CHD). Titled "The Validation of an Integrated Genetic-Epigenetic Test for the Assessment of Coronary Heart Disease," the article sheds light on Cardio Diagnostics’ progress in the field of cardiovascular medicine while showcasing PrecisionCHD’s ability to detect CHD with high sensitivity with a blood test and provide better testing access to underserved communities. Democratizing Access Traditional diagnostic methods for CHD, often inaccessible due to the need for specialized infrastructure, can be invasive and sometimes require exposure to ionizing radiation. Additionally, some of the tests are not sensitive to all forms of CHD and can be very costly, leaving millions of Americans without adequate and potentially lifesaving cardiac care. PrecisionCHD is the first integrated genetic-epigenetic test for the detection of CHD. With the introduction of PrecisionCHD, clinicians are armed with a powerful, scalable and non-invasive alternative that comes in the form of a blood-based test that uses artificial intelligence (AI), along with personalized genetic and epigenetic information, to detect the presence of CHD. Those who read the JAHA publication will learn about the development and validation of the PrecisionCHD test in three independent cohorts totaling 2,516 individuals. The study was collaboratively conducted by researchers from Cardio Diagnostics, Intermountain Healthcare and the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. PrecisionCHD uses the input from six methylation sensitive digital PCR (MSdPCR) assessments to determine the presence or absence of CHD. The article details the mapping of each of these MSdPCR assays to distinct modifiable drivers of CHD, through which clinicians are able to gain personalized insights into each patient’s CHD presentation. It also notes that because methylation is dynamic, clinicians can consider focused re-testing to determine the effectiveness of CHD therapy. “What's truly revolutionary about this approach is its ability to provide a more comprehensive, personalized snapshot of a patient's CHD drivers, allowing for early intervention and tailored treatment plans,” said Robert Philibert MD Ph.D., lead author and Chief Medical Officer of Cardio Diagnostics. “This is personal for me; seeing patients who previously had limited options for early diagnosis now have access to this state-of-the-art technology is a milestone in cardiac care.” For rural communities where access to specialized medical facilities is limited, the implications of this research are particularly relevant. With only a simple blood draw needed to complete a test, PrecisionCHD offers patients in underserved areas access to state-of-the-art cardiac assessments. PrecisionCHD can be administered in primary care or telemedicine settings, significantly reducing the need for patients to travel to distant specialized clinics. This level of availability marks a step forward toward mitigating healthcare disparities, especially in rural areas with limited resources and infrastructure. “Our commitment is to democratize access to essential cardiac care, particularly in rural areas where advanced diagnostic tools are scarce and cardiovascular specialists are even more rare,” said Meesha Dogan, Ph.D., CEO and Co-Founder of Cardio Diagnostics. “PrecisionCHD's remote accessibility and deployment capability in non-specialized settings are pivotal in achieving this goal.” After recently finalizing an Innovation Technology contract with Vizient, Inc. – the nation’s largest provider-driven healthcare performance improvement company – Cardio Diagnostics will have access to a customer base that encompasses 60% of hospitals and 97% of academic medical centers in the United States. Member institutions have the ability to purchase the PrecisionCHD test through Vizient’s Innovative Technology Program. Cardio Diagnostics is an artificial intelligence-powered precision cardiovascular medicine company that makes cardiovascular disease prevention, detection, and management more accessible, personalized, and precise. The Company was formed to further develop and commercialize clinical tests by leveraging a proprietary Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven Integrated Genetic-Epigenetic Engine (“Core Technology”) for cardiovascular disease to become one of the leading medical technology companies for improving prevention, detection, and treatment of cardiovascular disease.

PathAI Introduces TumorDetect, an AI Solution to Automate Tumor Assessment and Case Prioritization for Anatomic Pathology Laboratories

PathAI

PathAI, a global leader in AI-powered pathology, today announced TumorDetect on AISight™, PathAI’s digital pathology image management system. TumorDetect is an AI-powered feature of AISight which automates the assessment and quantification of tumor across diverse tissue types. This product transforms pathology workflows by enabling case prioritization based on tumor content, helping pathologists to expedite case review, accelerate ordering of additional tests, and improving overall case turnaround time. As cancer incidence and corresponding cancer biopsy volumes continue to rise year-over-year, TumorDetect is designed to ensure that pathologists’ focus is guided to cases with highest likelihood of cancer with the goal of more rapid confirmation of tumor presence (for example, through downstream IHC assessment). In addition to identifying cases and slides likely to contain tumor, the product generates overlay visualizations and slide-level quantifications to facilitate pathologist review. PathAI will be expanding this pilot across its network of 50+ laboratory and early access partners across diverse tumor types globally. "Pathologists are facing increasing demands for faster case turnaround time, against a backdrop of increasing workload. TumorDetect is a game-changer in the field of pathology, empowering pathologists to efficiently prioritize cases based on tumor content," said Andy Beck, MD, PhD, Cofounder & CEO, PathAI. "Our AI-powered solution is designed to expedite the case review process but also facilitates faster turnaround times for labs." “AI-enabled assist tools such as TumorDetect can help pathologists perform important daily tasks – tumor detection and cellularity assessment, which are crucial for biomarker testing and precision medicine,” said Marilyn Bui, MD, PhD, Senior Member in the Departments of Pathology and Machine Learning at Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute. “I am excited about the potential for AI-assisted tumor assessment to augment pathologists’ effectiveness in delivering quality results and streamlining pathology workflows.” TumorDetect’s assessment and prioritization criteria are customizable, allowing pathologists to set personalized tumor content thresholds in line with their unique preferences and requirements. In addition to tumor cell quantification, TumorDetect also generates overlay visualizations highlighting hotspots of possible tumor on whole slide images (WSI). TumorDetect was developed on a dataset comprised of over 100,000 WSIs with over 6 million hand-drawn annotations from expert board-certified subspecialist pathologists, capturing the diversity of ways in which cancers appear in pathology WSIs. This feature, delivered through AISight, significantly aids pathologists during hotspot reviews, allowing for a more focused and targeted analysis of potentially cancerous regions. This announcement follows the launch of several AI algorithm products including AIM-PD-L1™ and AIM-HER2™ for reproducible biomarker and disease severity assessment, ArtifactDetect™ for automated quality control, and AIM-TumorCellularity™ (AIM-TC) for whole-slide level assessment of tumor cellularity. PathAI’s comprehensive suite of eight AI product offerings is designed to power pathologist decision making while optimizing laboratory efficiency.
