NEW YORK, Jan. 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Signal Genetics, a privately held personalized medicine company focused on cancer, announced today the presentation of a paper entitled "Guanylyl Cyclase C (GCC) Lymph Nodes (LN) Classification as a Prognostic Marker in Patients with Stage II Colon Cancer: A Pooled Analysis" at the 2012 American Society of Clinical Oncology Gastrointestinal Cancer Symposium held in San Francisco, CA January 21, 2012.  The data from the paper demonstrate the value of implementing Previstage testing in patients with colorectal cancer to identify those patients at risk of relapse. The paper is the culmination of the work conducted by a team of researchers and  collaborators from several  centers, including:  Rhode Island Hospital, Brown University, University of Massachusetts  Medical School, University of North Carolina, Lahey Clinic, Brigham and Women's Hospital, British Columbia Cancer Agency and DiagnoCure Inc.  These researchers conducted a pooled individual data analysis on 310 patients to confirm whether molecular detection of GCC in Lymph Nodes indicates high risk of disease recurrence and poor survival in untreated stage II colon cancer.
