Lynx Dx, a leading developer of innovative diagnostic solutions, has announced that its MyProstateScore 2.0 (MPS2) test will now be available for at-home sample collection. This move aims to increase accessibility and convenience for men seeking prostate cancer screening.
According to a recent study published in the Journal of Urology, MPS2 delivers high accuracy in predicting clinically significant prostate cancer using urine collected without a preceding digital rectal exam (DRE). The test analyzes expression of 18 unique gene transcripts, including the T2:ERG gene fusion, which is the most specific biomarker for prostate cancer.
The at-home version of MPS2 is expected to be available for ordering in February. This development builds upon existing research demonstrating the accuracy and efficiency of MPS2 in diagnosing clinically significant prostate cancer.
Lynx Dx’s mission is to develop superior genomic tests with high accuracy and efficiency, combined with unparalleled customer experience. The company’s pioneering test has been validated by various studies and has established itself as a transformative tool in prostate cancer screening.
With the introduction of at-home sample collection, men can now take control of their prostate cancer risk assessment in the comfort of their own homes. This development is expected to improve patient convenience, reduce discomfort associated with traditional screening methods, and increase accessibility for individuals in remote or underserved areas.
MPS2’s flexibility and accuracy make it an attractive option for both patients and healthcare providers. The test can be completed without a DRE in-office or at home, ensuring compatibility with modern telehealth practices.
Lynx Dx’s commitment to patient-centered care and innovation is evident in this latest development. By offering more convenient and accurate prostate cancer screening options, the company aims to improve health outcomes for men worldwide.
