(Nasdaq: CSTL), a dermatologic diagnostics company providing personalized genomic information to improve treatment decisions, today announced that it has received approval from the New York State Department of Health for its proprietary DecisionDx\u00ae DiffDx\u2122-Melanoma gene expression profile (GEP) test. DecisionDx DiffDx-Melanoma is designed to provide an objective and comprehensive diagnostic offering to aid dermatopathologists in characterizing difficult-to-diagnose melanocytic lesions.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe are proud of the expansion of our New York Clinical Laboratory Permit to include the DecisionDx DiffDx-Melanoma test, as it exemplifies our ongoing commitment to providing high-quality, dermatologic genomic tests that can transform care and improve patients\u2019 lives,\u201d said Kristen Oelschlager, chief operating officer of Castle Biosciences. \u201cFor patients in New York with ambiguous melanocytic lesions, we believe access to our DecisionDx DiffDx-Melanoma test can provide clarity in the management of their disease for improved overall outcomes.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIn May of 2021, Castle acquired myPath\u00ae Melanoma, a clinically validated GEP test designed to be used as an adjunct to histopathology when the distinction between a benign nevus and a malignant melanoma cannot be made confidently by histopathology alone. Together, myPath Melanoma and DecisionDx DiffDx-Melanoma comprise Castle\u2019s comprehensive diagnostic offering for difficult-to-diagnose melanocytic lesions. Both GEP tests, myPath Melanoma and DiffDx-Melanoma, are designed to provide a comprehensive diagnostic workflow that leverages the strengths of both tests for better patient care.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nCastle previously received approvals in the state of New York for its other GEP tests, including DecisionDx<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>-Melanoma, DecisionDx\u00ae-SCC, DecisionDx<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>-UM and DecisionDx<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>-PRAME, as well as its next generation sequencing panels, DecisionDx<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>-CM<i>Seq<\/i> and DecisionDx<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>-UM<i>Seq<\/i>.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIn 2020, Castle doubled the footprint of its College of American Pathologists (CAP) accredited, Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-certified primary laboratory facility located in Phoenix. The Company expanded the space to approximately 23,500 square feet by adding a new laboratory facility in close proximity to its primary facility to support growth and provide certain operational redundancy. Earlier this year, Castle further expanded this facility to include approximately 3,600 additional square feet.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About Castle Biosciences\u2019 Comprehensive Diagnostic Offering for Difficult-to-Diagnose Melanocytic Lesions <\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nCastle Biosciences\u2019 comprehensive diagnostic offering leverages the strengths of myPath\u00ae Melanoma and DecisionDx\u00ae DiffDx\u2122-Melanoma. These gene expression profile tests are designed to provide a highly accurate, objective result to aid dermatopathologists and dermatologists in characterizing difficult-to-diagnose melanocytic lesions. Of the approximately 2 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 highly 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 and DecisionDx DiffDx-Melanoma are designed to reduce uncertainty and provide confidence for dermatopathologists and help dermatologists deliver more informed patient management plans.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nMore information about the test and disease can be found at <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fcastletestinfo.com%2F&amp;esheet=52492639&amp;newsitemid=20210916005136&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=www.CastleTestInfo.com&amp;index=1&amp;md5=f24f8816caafe507a934d51d072f748e\">www.CastleTestInfo.com<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About Castle Biosciences<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nCastle Biosciences (Nasdaq: CSTL) is a commercial-stage dermatologic diagnostics company focused on providing physicians and their patients with personalized, clinically actionable genomic information to make more accurate treatment decisions.
