Castle Biosciences Recognized for Skin Cancer Diagnostics Innovation in 2021 MedTech Breakthrough Awards Program Share Article LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) May 06, 2021 MedTech Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global health and medical technology market, today announced that Castle Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: CSTL), a skin cancer diagnostics company providing personalized genomic information to improve cancer treatment decisions, has been selected as the winner of the “Best New Technology Solution for Oncology” award in the fifth annual MedTech Breakthrough Awards program, recognizing Castle’s DecisionDx®-SCC and DecisionDx® DiffDx™-Melanoma solutions. Castle Biosciences innovative genomic skin cancer testing technology harnesses information from individual patients’ tumor biology to inform management decisions and improve patient outcomes. The company’s tests use gene expression profiling—measuring gene expression patterns in individual skin tissue samples—to assess whether a given tissue sample might be cancerous or, for known tumors, how aggressively a given tumor might be expected to behave. Castle’s recently launched skin cancer genomic tests include DecisionDx-SCC for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) prognosis for patients with one or more high risk factors and DecisionDx DiffDx-Melanoma, designed to help characterize difficult-to-diagnose skin lesions as benign, intermediate-risk or malignant. These two newly marketed dermatologic cancer products join Castle’s genomic test for cutaneous melanoma, DecisionDx®-Melanoma, which aids in melanoma prognosis.
