VII. Comparisons with Pancreastatin Porcine Pancreastatin UnlikePancreastatin The NETest is NOTincreased by pancreas, kidney or liver damage
Comparisons of the NETest with CgA and Pancreastatin NETest is a highly accurate biomarker (>90% metrics) and outperforms CgA and pancreastatin SENS = sensitivity, SPEC = specificity, PPV = Positive Predictive Value, NPV = Negative Predictive Value
What constitutes a clinically effective circulating biomarker? An effective circulating biomarker must exhibit three key technical attributes: The marker must be present in peripheral body fluid It must be easy to detect or quantify in assays that are both affordable and robust Its appearance must be associated as specifically as possible with a specific tumor, preferably in a quantifiable manner. Measurement of a biomarker should be accurate, reliable, reproducible and differentiate between normal and the specific disease of interest. All performance metrics should be >80% Biomarkers on a roll. Nat Biotechnol.2010, 28431
