Castle Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: CSTL), a company improving health through innovative tests that guide patient care, will share new data highlighting the clinical performance of its DecisionDx-Melanoma and MyPath Melanoma tests at the American Society of Dermatopathology (ASDP) 61st Annual Meeting, being held Nov. 7-10, in Chicago.

“At Castle, we focus strongly on continued evidence development to demonstrate where our tests might be able to add value to clinical decision-making,” said Rebecca Critchley-Thorne, Ph.D., vice president of research and development at Castle Biosciences. “Our data to be presented at ASDP support the ability of our tests to provide accurate risk-stratification in patients with confirmed or suspected melanoma, which can help clinicians make more informed treatment and management decisions in the care of their patients.”

Castle’s posters at ASDP will be presented by study author Etan Marks, D.O., board-certified dermatopathologist, laboratory director and primary investigator at Advanced Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery in Delray Beach, Florida, during a two-hour poster defense session on Saturday, Nov. 9, from 3:30-5:30 p.m. Central time in the Chicago Ballroom (5th floor).

About DecisionDx®-Melanoma

DecisionDx-Melanoma is a gene expression profile risk stratification test. It is designed to inform two clinical questions in the management of cutaneous melanoma: a patient’s individual risk of sentinel lymph node positivity and a patient's personal risk of melanoma recurrence and/or metastasis. By integrating tumor biology with clinical and pathologic factors using a validated proprietary algorithm, DecisionDx-Melanoma is designed to provide a comprehensive and clinically actionable result to guide risk-aligned patient care. DecisionDx-Melanoma has been shown to be associated with improved patient survival and has been studied in more than 10,000 patient samples. DecisionDx-Melanoma’s clinical value is supported by more than 50 peer-reviewed and published studies, providing confidence in disease management plans that incorporate the test’s results. Through Sept. 30, 2024, DecisionDx-Melanoma has been ordered approximately 183,000 times for patients diagnosed with cutaneous melanoma. Learn more at www.CastleBiosciences.com.

About MyPath® Melanoma

MyPath Melanoma is Castle’s gene expression profile test designed to provide an accurate, objective result to aid dermatopathologists and dermatologists in characterizing difficult-to-diagnose melanocytic lesions. Of the approximately two million suspicious pigmented lesions biopsied annually in the U.S., Castle estimates that approximately 300,000 of those cannot be confidently classified as either benign or malignant through traditional histopathology methods. For these cases, the treatment plan can also be uncertain. Obtaining accurate, objective ancillary testing can mean the difference between a path of overtreatment or the risk of undertreatment. Interpreted in the context of other clinical, laboratory and histopathologic information, MyPath Melanoma is designed to reduce uncertainty and provide confidence for dermatopathologists and help dermatologists deliver more informed patient management plans.
