Quest Diagnostics Incorporated (NYSE:DGX), the world's leading cancer diagnostics company, today announced that its ColoVantage test has been approved by New York State's Department of Health for testing on samples of patients in the state. It is believed to be the first molecular colorectal cancer detection method that employs a venal blood specimen to be approved by the state.
"ColoVantage is a convenient, noninvasive option for the millions of patients 50 years of age and older who resist testing by recommended screening methods," said Jon R. Cohen, M.D., senior vice president and chief medical officer, Quest Diagnostics.
