New Assay for Testicular Cancer Diagnostics: M371-Test

March 9, 2023

We are excited to announce that we are now offering an innovative test with outstanding accuracy for the diagnosis of testicular cancer. The M371-Test is a qPCR-based assay intended as an aid for primary diagnosis and follow-up monitoring of testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs).

Testicular germ cell tumors are the most common cancer type in men aged 20-45 years with 25.000 new cases per year in Europe (Source: Globocan 2020). The current gold standard for diagnosis and monitoring, based on serological testing, ultrasound, and CT imaging is unspecific, radiation-intensive and leaves the patient often in doubt.

The M371-Test is a qPCR-based assay intended as an aid for primary diagnosis and follow-up monitoring of testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT). It measures the relative quantity of the tumor marker miR-371a-3p from a blood sample with outstanding diagnostic accuracy.

Key features and benefits

  • Unique and innovative product based on patented technology
  • Faster, substantially more precise, and reliable diagnosis than current biomarker standards
  • Minimally invasive technique that avoids unnecessary diagnostic surgeries
  • Potential reduction of radiation exposure during follow-up and long-term monitoring
  • High sensitivity (90,1%) and specificity (94%)
  • For professional in vitro diagnostic use. CE-IVD
