(PRWEB) August 20, 2013 -- Sonora Quest Laboratories announced today that it has recently entered into an agreement with Oncimmune® USA LLC to offer EarlyCDT®-Lung, a simple blood test that aids physicians in the early detection of lung cancer. Sonora Quest Laboratories offers the EarlyCDT®-Lung test as a “pass-through” test, with reporting and billing being handled directly by Oncimmune®.

We are pleased to welcome Sonora Quest Laboratories as our partner to help provide EarlyCDT-Lung, a ground-breaking blood test that aids in the early detection of lung cancer

EarlyCDT-Lung is a ground-breaking diagnostic blood test that aids in the early detection of lung cancer. EarlyCDT-Lung has been shown to detect early and late stage cancer in research studies as well as in clinical use. Oncimmune’s EarlyCDT-Lung uses a panel of tumor antigens to diagnose autoantibodies (immuno-biomarkers) produced by the patient’s immune system when lung cancer is present. Elevation of any one of the autoantibodies in the test panel above a predetermined cut-off value suggests that a tumor might be present. Previous studies have shown that autoantibodies can be detected up to five years earlier than a tumor can be seen in routine diagnostic imaging procedures. Tests that detect autoantibodies to a single tumor protein have been available for a number of years but have had low detection rates (sensitivity).

“We are pleased to welcome Sonora Quest Laboratories as our partner to help provide EarlyCDT-Lung, a ground-breaking blood test that aids in the early detection of lung cancer.” said Greg Stanley, Chief Commercial Officer at Oncimmune USA.

Patient blood samples sent to Sonora Quest Laboratories will be analyzed at Oncimmune’s CLIA-certified laboratory located in De Soto, Kansas. More than 2,000 physicians throughout the United States are offering the test as well as numerous leading academic and medical institutions. A prospective audit of clinical data from the first 1,600 patients tested with EarlyCDT-Lung validates its utility to detect early-stage lung cancer and its overall performance, click here. Additionally, the Scottish government is conducting a 10,000-patient randomized clinical trial to validate the economic benefit of the test in screening high-risk patients, click here. The EarlyCDT® autoantibody platform is supported by 17 peer-reviewed publications, click here. EarlyCDT-Lung has a high specificity (93%), 7 times fewer false positives and 5 times better positive predictive value (PPV) than CT. Additionally, the test offers >91% accuracy, when considering a population with 2% prevalence of lung cancer (20 lung cancers per thousand).
