Patient Stratification
"Digistain has shown statistically significant prognostic ability for HR-positive HER2-negative primary operable breast cancer by accurately stratifying patients into high and low risk. With currently over-burdened healthcare systems and the need to improve global cancer care inequalities, the ability to provide low-cost, rapid, and widely accessible prognostic testing suggests that Digistain may have the potential for significant clinical utility".

Cost Effectiveness
"It gives the same information about the need for chemotherapy at almost one-fourth the current costs. The new invention can help patients who have been detected with early stage breast cancer and only a few women benefit from chemotherapy at this stage."

Proteomic Approach
“When clinicopathological factors are augmented with objective assessment of grading, risk evaluation consistency outperforms genomic risk prediction.”

Decision Guidance
"Digistain risk of recurrence assessment is pivotal in choosing the optimal treatment for each of my patients, geared towards improving their survival"

Clinically Validated
“Typical prognostic factors such as the NPI (the gold standard used across the world) have a hazard ratio of around 2. A hazard ratio >4 is excellent. Digistain® appears to be a much better classifier of risk than other biomarkers I’ve seen used in clinics today”

Individualised Treatment Approach
“Digistain is a valuable tool for determining the precise adjuvant therapy that my breast cancer patients will benefit from. When results point towards chemotherapy as the optimal course of action for reducing risk of recurrence, patient feels more confident and open towards it.”

Time Saving
"Digistain cuts down wait times for results massively when compared to our current provider who is sending samples to the US for analysis. The turnaround time with Digistain is much quicker, it is more accurate and cheaper. The backlogs caused by the pandemic and industrial actions mean that fast-paced technology like this can really be the difference between life and death. I have worked for the National Health Service for 25 years and it is innovation like this that will open up a new digital pathway and frontier for the NHS - and help future-proof it. It can only be a matter of time before Digistain is adopted across the whole of the NHS."
