Natera, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRA) announces a study published in Gynecologic Oncology, validating its molecular residual disease (MRD) test, Signatera, for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). The multi-site study of 163 plasma samples from 69 patients demonstrates that Signatera outperforms CA-125 in predicting recurrence. With 100% sensitivity and specificity, it detects recurrences an average of 10 months earlier than imaging. This advancement is crucial for ovarian cancer management, which has a high recurrence rate and poor survival rates.
