Viollier to Offer Epigenomics' Colorectal Cancer Test

Jun 23, 2009

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) – Swiss diagnostics lab Viollier has obtained rights to offer Epigenomics' molecular test for colorectal cancer detection as a service to patients in Europe beginning July 1.

Berlin-based Epigenomics said that the test is based on its mSEPT9 biomarker and is the first ever blood-based test for colorectal cancer to be offered in Europe. It said that it expects other diagnostic labs in Europe to offer mSEPT9 testing "in due course."

In addition, Epigenomics said that mSEPT9 testing in the US would initially be offered by Quest Diagnostics.
