LONDON and PHOENIX, Ariz., June 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AccuStemSciences, Inc. (OTCQB: ACUT), a clinical stage diagnostics company dedicated toimproving outcomes for patients with cancer, today announced the establishmentof a joint clinical collaboration agreement with University Hospitals.

Per the terms of this agreement, University Hospitals will provide tissue sampleswith clinical outcomes to AccuStem for research purposes. The scope of theagreement covers a multitude of different cancers but will initially focus on breastcancer cases to support further validation of the StemPrintER test. The goal of theinitial project is to build on the strong foundation of data for StemPrintER bydemonstrating additional clinical utility beyond identifying patients’ risk ofrecurrence. This next step is critical for women with early stage breast cancerbecause there are many tests to determine the need for chemotherapy but there areno genomic tools to inform decisions earlier in the continuum of care. StemPrintERmay be able to shift this paradigm by informing physicians of the most effectiveapproaches to surgical or radiological treatment.

“AccuStem has arrived at an important juncture as we progress towardcommercializing StemPrintER,” said Wendy Blosser, Chief Executive Officer ofAccuStem. “With this collaboration, we intend to expand beyond identifying apatient’s prognosis by addressing unanswered clinical questions and supportingsurgeons and radiation oncologists with their treatment planning.”

AccuStem and its clinical collaborators plan to present the data obtained under thisagreement at scientific conferences and to publish the findings in peer-reviewedmedical journals. Those activities will help to bolster the foundation of data forStemPrintER and familiarize physicians with its utility and value in clinical decisionmaking with the ultimate goal of improving patient outcomes and quality of life.

“We are excited to work with AccuStem on this clinical project,” said HannahGilmore, Division Chief, Anatomic Pathology, University Hospitals Cleveland MedicalCenter and Professor of Pathology, Case Western Reserve University. “I am veryinterested in the foundation for the StemPrintER test and think that it could haveimportant implications for treatment planning in breast cancer and perhaps manyother tumor types.”
