Biotheranostics a Hologic Company

Biotheranostics, Inc. represents the oncology portfolio within the Diagnostic Solutions division of Hologic, Inc. The CLIA certified, CAP accredited laboratory provides two proprietary, highly differentiated molecular diagnostic tests for breast and metastatic cancers, Breast Cancer Index (BCI) and CancerTYPE ID, respectively.

Breast Cancer Index (BCI)

Breast Cancer Index (BCI) is the only genomic test recognized by multiple guidelines to predict benefit from extended endocrine therapy for women with early-stage, node-negative or node-positive (1-3 nodes), HR+ breast cancer. Historically, the duration of endocrine therapy decisions has primarily been based on clinical and pathologic factors. However, multiple trials have demonstrated that these factors are not indicative of endocrine therapy benefit. BCI is the only test recognized by both ASCO and the NCCN Clinical Practice in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) to predict which patients are likely to benefit from extended endocrine therapy.^1,2 BCI has demonstrated consistent predictive evidence across 5 studies and over 4,500 patients.^3-7 Patients identified by BCI as likely to benefit experienced a 58%-71% relative risk reduction by continuing endocrine therapy for a full 10 years, while patients identified as not likely to benefit did not experience a significant benefit from longer treatment.^3-7 The BCI gene-expression assay allows providers to assess early-stage, HR+ patient’s benefit based on their unique tumor biology, helping to avoid potential over and undertreatment of patients.

CancerTYPE ID

CancerTYPE ID provides critical tumor type and subtype information to help resolve diagnostic uncertainty in patients with metastatic cancer. Identifying the tumor type is the fundamental first step towards selecting appropriate treatment. CancerTYPE ID is the most comprehensive and validated test for patients with unknown or unclear diagnoses, distinguishing between 50 different tumor types/subtypes with 87% accuracy.⁸ In a prospective study, CancerTYPE ID also identified a tumor type in 98% of CUP cases and improved overall survival by 37% with assay-directed treatment compared to empiric therapy for CUP.⁹ CancerTYPE ID may be paired with a NeoTYPE® Cancer Profile for tumor type and biomarker information to further expand treatment options and improve patient outcomes.*

CancerTYPE ID

*NeoTYPE Cancer Profiles are performed and billed separately by our contracted reference laboratory, NeoGenomics Laboratories, Inc.
