Prostatype Genomics announced that the company and Professor E. David Crawford, MD, an internationally recognized expert in prostate cancer, will be the first US urologist with access to the Prostatype® testing service for clinical use. Providing early access and partnering with Professor Crawford in preparation for release nationwide will help ensure that urologist's expectations are met when launching this next generation of prognostic testing to benefit patients battling prostate cancer. Prostatype Genomics has recently communicated the fulfillment of several key regulatory milestones required for market entry in the United States, the world's largest and most important market for prostate cancer prognostic biomarkers, currently valued at approximately 200 MUSD annually.

These milestones include the acquisition of a CLIA license and CAP accreditation clearing the way for Prostatype's® commercial availability in the United States. In addition, reimbursement by Medicare is expected later this year.
