GastroPanel's clinical validation highlights its role in early gastric cancer risk assessment, offering a cost-effective alternative to invasive procedures.
From BIOHIT HealthCare LtdFeb 26 2025 BIOHIT HealthCare is pleased to announce that a clinical study conducted by Homerton University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, London, has confirmed the diagnostic accuracy of GastroPanel in identifying gastric cancer risk in patients with upper abdominal complaints. This study demonstrated that the panel can reliably identify patients at high risk of gastric cancer with over 90 % accuracy, helping to streamline patient management.
Jussi Hahtela, CEO of Biohit Oyj, commented: “GastroPanel serves the needs of both patients and healthcare organisations. The rapid identification of gastric cancer risk conditions is important in terms of prevention and effective treatment. With GastroPanel, the patient receives information about their condition quickly and non-invasively, and the test is significantly less expensive for the NHS than an endoscopy.
