Agendia is at the forefront of the personalized medicine revolution, striving to bring more effective, individualized therapy within reach of cancer patients. Leveraging advancements in microarray-based technology for tumor gene expression profiling, the company's tests aim to enable physicians to more accurately tailor cancer treatment. Agendia's MammaPrint is the first and only FDA-cleared IVDMIA gene expression assay for breast cancer recurrence. The 70 gene signature was developed on an untreated patient population using an unbiased gene selection process and provides clinicians a reliable means to identify women who are either at low risk or at high risk of distant recurrence after surgery. When used in conjunction with other clinical factors, MammaPrint can help determine if a patient may be safely treated with hormonal therapy alone, or if the addition of chemotherapy will be of benefit. Submitting patient samples in the United States is simple and easy using the RNARetain room temperature, molecular fixative. Agendia’s CLIA certified and CAP registered laboratories are based in Huntington Beach, California, and in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. For more information please visit http://www.agendia.com.

Biopsy Sciences (Booth 221)
4900 Creekside Dr., Suite C
Clearwater FL 33760
(727) 290-9825
Biopsy Sciences® is proud to introduce the HydroMARK® breast biopsy site marker developed by John Fisher MD, a breast Radiologist. It’s the only breast marker that is made of 90% water, has less than 2mm of migration, marks the exact biopsy location, and does not contain collagen (which has known allergies). Because it’s 90% water, it enables physicians to clearly visualize the marker under ultrasound imaging for 6 or more weeks following deployment. Once deployed in the biopsy cavity the HydroMARK® absorbs the surrounding fluid, swells in length and diameter, and anchors in the cavity. The HydroMARK® will allow for ultrasound needle localizations. Ultrasound needle localizations are faster, less painful, and compression free. The HydroMARK® contains a central titanium or stainless steel metal marker for permanent visibility under mammography. HydroMARK® has recently received the CE Mark for distribution in 27 countries of the European Union.
