of initial negatives
prove to be positive
on repeat biopsies.
Patients with false negatives are
managed in the same manner as
those with true negatives.
What if you could determine
the difference between a false
negative and a true negative?
Now you can with the
Prostate Core Mitomic Test.
Patient A
Negative PCMT Result
Age 62, persistently rising PSA, family history
Biopsy outcome
Request PCMT
Confirm a true negative with
92%
negative predictive value.
Patient B
Positive PCMT Result
Age 62, persistently rising PSA, family history
Biopsy outcome
Request PCMT
Identify patients at high risk for
undiagnosed prostate cancer with
85%
sensitivity.
Confidently stratify
your patients.
Negative PCMT result
Positive PCMT result
• Be more confident in
negative results.
• Detect undiagnosed
prostate cancer early.
• Provide peace of mind
to patients.
• Manage patient based on
positive PCMT result and
additional risk factors.
• Avoid causing patients added
pain, anxiety, and risk from
unnecessary, extra biopsies.
• Tailor patient management
for improved patient care.

PCMT positive outcome
Patient is at high risk for

A repeat biopsy is
recommended with presence
of additional risk factors.
Tumor field effect
Tumor field effect
• Identifies a large-scale deletion in mitochondrial DNA that indicates
cellular change associated with undiagnosed prostate cancer.
• Detects presence of malignant cells in normal appearing tissue
across an extended area.
Why mitochondrial DNA?
The Prostate Core Mitomic Test detects largescale mtDNA deletion to discriminate between
benign and malignant prostate tissue.
Why mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)?
• Mass copy rate allows for the most extensive field effect possible.
• Mutations associated with prostate cancer appear
in tumors and normal tissue.
• High susceptibility to damage enables unprecedented
early disease detection.

• Deletion accurately discriminates between biopsies having prostate cancer
and those without (AUC 0.83)
• Non-malignant pathologies (HGPIN, atrophy, etc) do not confound this
discriminatory power.*
