On September 21, 2023 Veracyte, Inc. (Nasdaq: VCYT) reported that three posters showcasing new data from the company’s Afirma Genomic Sequencing Classifier (GSC) will be presented at the 2023 American Thyroid Association (ATA) Annual Meeting being held in Washington, DC from September 27 to October 1 (Press release, Veracyte, SEP 21, 2023, View Source [SID1234635317]). Together, these abstracts offer novel insights into the molecular underpinnings of thyroid nodules and tumors based on whole-transcriptome RNA sequencing data from thyroid nodules analyzed with the Afirma GSC.

"As we enter a new era in the personalized diagnosis and management of thyroid nodules and cancer, it is more important than ever to advance the science around this cancer so we can ultimately characterize each patient’s individual molecular profile," said Joshua Klopper, MD, Veracyte’s medical director for Endocrinology. "The abstracts to be presented by our clinical research colleagues at the ATA meeting show that the Afirma GSC platform can be used to glean new insights about thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer preoperatively. We believe that Afirma-based whole-transcriptome analysis will help drive cancer research and unlock findings that may ultimately be used in clinical care."

The following late-breaking posters will be presented at the 2023 ATA Annual Meeting (all times ET):
