VolitionRx has analysed blood samples from 105 patients and was able to detect 76% of the patients with colon cancer, 96% of those with breast cancer, and 100% of patients with lung cancer. Of the 105 patients tested, 74 had cancer (25 colon cancer, 25 breast cancer and 24 lung cancer), and 31 were healthy (not diagnosed with cancer). Volition tested all the patient samples for elevated nucleosome structures using one of its NuQ kits, with the following results for colon, breast and lung cancer: Colon: 76% of cancers detected (19 of 25 patients) and 90% specificity (3 false positives from 31 healthy samples) Breast: 96% of cancers detected (24 of 25 patients) and 90% specificity (3 false positives from 31 healthy samples) Lung: 100% of cancers detected (24 of 24 patients) and 79% specificity (6 false positives from 28 healthy samples).
