PreCheck Health Services Showcases New Hereditary And Somatic Cancer Testing Capabilities At The A4M World Congress With Support From Pierian

Miami Beach, FL /PRNewswire/ - PreCheck Health Services, Inc., a CLIA-registered, CAP-accredited high complexity laboratory announced a collaboration with Pierian, a global leader in advanced clinical genomics technology and services, to provide in-house next-generation sequencing (NGS) services that support cancer-related genetic testing for medical facilities and patients in South Florida with plans to expand nationwide.

Accessibility to hereditary cancer testing is limited by a patient's access to a clinic. PreCheck Health Services helps patients access precision medicine through their at-home concierge service. By supporting hereditary cancer testing, patients can now benefit from the advantages of NGS to enable more precise cancer diagnosis. Their first two NGS offerings are based on Illumina's TruSight Hereditary Cancer and TruSight Oncology 500 panels.

Frank Gillen, President & Chairman, remarked "We are excited to present our genomic solutions as an addition to our laboratory testing that enables physicians, health plans, and providers the ability to provide quality care to patients through precision medicine."

Lindsay Mateo, Pierian's Chief Business Officer added, "The collaboration between Pierian and PreCheck provides broader access to genomic testing that drives more precise cancer diagnosis and treatment for patients. We are excited to support the ongoing modernization of patient care by giving physicians access to best-in-class genomic interpretations and reporting."
