About SelectMDx for Prostate Cancer
SelectMDx for Prostate Cancer is a proprietary urine-based, molecular diagnostic test that offers a non-invasive ‘liquid biopsy’ method to assess a man’s risk for prostate cancer. SelectMDx helps identify men at increased risk of harbouring aggressive, potentially lethal, prostate cancer who may benefit most from a prostate biopsy and earlier detection. The test delivers a negative predictive value (NPV) of 98% for clinically significant disease, helping to reduce unnecessary MRI procedures and invasive prostate biopsies by approximately 50%, thereby reducing healthcare costs.

Leveraging the vast amount of knowledge and know-how derived from the Human Genome Project, International HapMap and other oncology research programs, AceCGT is translating the science of molecular diagnostics and personalized medicine into clinical practice within the Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions of China.
