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).

- Poster 232: Appropriate statistical methods to assess
cross-study diagnostic 23-gene expression profile test performance
for cutaneous melanocytic neoplasms
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. Learn more at
