Veracyte Announces Afirma-Focused Abstracts to Be Presented at ENDO 2023

- A scientific-data oral presentation, two posters and a symposium presentation will highlight the clinical and research advantages of the company’s Afirma molecular test and capabilities -

Veracyte, Inc. (Nasdaq: VCYT) today announced that three abstracts highlighting new data on the company’s Afirma test and capabilities will be presented at ENDO 2023, the annual meeting of The Endocrine Society, which is taking place June 15-18 in Chicago, Ill. Additionally, Veracyte’s medical director of Endocrinology, Joshua Klopper, M.D., will participate in a symposium panel discussion on the advantages of various molecular testing approaches to help personalize and improve care for people with potentially cancerous thyroid nodules.

“The new data we will share at ENDO 2023 demonstrate Veracyte’s ongoing commitment to advancing the science around thyroid nodule management and cancer,” said Dr. Klopper. “They show how we are helping physicians further personalize treatment for their patients with thyroid nodules, while also helping researchers identify additional molecular characteristics of these nodules that could potentially provide clinically actionable prognostic information.”

The following abstracts will be presented at the ENDO 2023 meeting, with all presentations taking place at McCormick Place:
