I quickly looked through that paper. exosomes are a hot topic now-- though I know a lot of folks who either don't like that field, or think that there isn't much functional biology associated with them.
Also any claim of 100% accuracy (which they say in the discussion) is really suspect. as much as we scientists want it to work out... biology is not binary.
The presentation for some of the figures is sloppy -- and oncotarget is a mid-low tier journal.... If this group really had a 100% accurate, inexpensive, non-invasive, biomarker test for ovarian cancer it would have been much bigger news.
A quote from a friend of mine.
I take it as, more testing required. Hence, the muted presentation/reaction. I suppose.
I sure hope they have a plan for a more definitive trial with 10X the patients. Peregrine did say they have access to 1000s of samples...right?
