PancraGEN® is a unique, DNA-based pancreatic cyst molecular test that, by using a small sample of pancreatic cyst fluid, can aid in pancreatic cancer risk assessment. PancraGEN® is 90% accurate, according to clinical studies, enabling effective risk stratification of patients. Pancreatic cancer is often difficult to diagnose in early stages and typically spreads rapidly with signs and symptoms appearing when the cancer is significantly advanced. Because of this, and that complete surgical removal of the pancreas is not possible, pancreatic cancer is considered a leading cause of cancer deaths.
Long-term follow-up outcomes data of patients (up to 8 years) from the National Pancreatic Cyst Registry supports PancraGEN’s ability to help accurately inform surgery and surveillance decisions of patients.
In a study of the National Pancreatic Cyst Registry, PancraGEN’s recommendation of surveillance was correct in 97% of patients. In fact, PancraGEN diagnoses were more beneficial to overall patient outcomes than sole reliance on International Consensus Guidelines (ICG) criteria.
PancraGEN has been performed on over 25,000 patients with pancreatic cysts, representing a full spectrum of pancreatic cyst patients with diverse clinical and molecular findings.

ThyGenX® Thyroid Oncogene Panel and ThyraMIR™ Thyroid miRNA Classifier molecular testing that aids in the diagnosis of thyroid nodules by identifying genetic alterations associated with thyroid cancer. ThyGenX® and ThyraMIR™ combination testing helps to better assess the risk of thyroid nodules being either benign or malignant—and helps reduce unnecessary surgeries.
ThyGenX® is a highly specific oncogene (mutational) panel that assesses the most common genetic alterations across 8 genes associated with papillary carcinoma and follicular carcinoma.
ThyraMIR™ is the first and only miRNA gene expression classifier, and is based on evaluation of expression of 10 miRNAs.
AccuCEA is our highly accurate CEA method designed specifically for pancreatic cyst fluids and is especially convenient when used with PancraGEN. Interpace currently performs over 6,000 AccuCEA tests per year for their customers. CEA is a blood fluid chemistry test that is commonly done as part of an initial screening performed on patients suspected of having pancreatic and other types of cancer.
The first of the two posters entitled "Molecular Analysis of Thyroid Malignancy Using Cytology Smears by Combined THYGENX™ and THYRAMIR™ testing: A Prospective Study" highlights the clinical performance of the combined ThyGenX + ThyraMIR tests when carried out on Fine Needle Aspirate (FNA) material smeared on cytology slides.
The second poster entitled "The Majority of Non-Diagnostic (Insufficient) Thyroid Nodule Cytology Samples Can Effectively Undergo Molecular (Combined Mutational and MicroRNA Classifier) Analysis Using a Needle Aspiration Approach" demonstrates that Interpace's scientists were able to perform molecular analysis in cases where cytology results were insufficient.
