Test

Providing prognostic insights for breast cancer patients is crucial for improving treatment decisions and patient outcomes

0 M

Every year, 2,3 million people are diagnosed with breast cancer worldwide, leading to ~670 000 deaths annually¹

0 %

After initial treatment, approximately 15% of breast cancer survivors will develop a second breast malignancy within 10 years²

0 %

About 70% of patients, diagnosed with the most common form of breast cancer, can safely omit chemotherapy when their recurrence-risk is adequately assessed³

Current risk assessment tools
fall short

Despite their potential, genomic assays are rarely used in practice due to significant barriers

High cost

Genomic assays are expensive, limiting accessibility for many patients and healthcare systems.

High turnaround times

The process of analyzing gene expression and generating results can be time-consuming, often requiring more than four weeks, which can delay crucial treatment decisions.

Complex

RNA-based assays involve complexities like sample stability and precise handling, complicating their routine clinical use.

Destructive

These tests often consume scarce tissue samples, which are limited in quantity. This can be
particularly problematic, as it leaves less material available for other necessary diagnostic
tests, potentially impacting overall patient care.

Our Solution

Our test provides precise prognostic insights, assessing the risk of recurrence and evaluating adjuvant chemotherapy benefits directly from standard H&E slides.

By aiming to reduce overtreatment, potentially lowering costs, and delivering rapid results, it supports healthcare providers in making informed decisions more quickly than standard genomic assays.

HR+ / HER2-

Our test is applicable to patients with early-stage hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, serving 70% of breast cancer patients

Rapid Results

Using a fully digital workflow, which only requires uploading digitized H&E stained slides to our platform, we can deliver results on the same day

No Tissue Destruction

Our test utilized digitized H&E stained slides, eliminating the need to send over scarce tissue samples

Workflow

Our digital workflow provides treating physicians with rapid, actionable insights, enhancing patient treatment and outcomes.

Tumor Resection

One of the first steps in treating breast cancer involves surgically removing the primary tumor. To gain further insights about the type of tumor, the removed tissue is then sent to a pathologist for further examination.

Slide Preparation & Digitization

The pathologist prepares the sample for examination under the microscope. To analyze the tissue with our AI models, the microscopic image needs to be digitized. This digitization can be carried out by the pathologist or by our partner network.

Upload to StratifAI Platform

The digitized image is uploaded to the StratifAI platform. Our proprietary algorithms analyze the image, assessing various patterns that indicate the recurrence risk of breast cancer. This step leverages artificial intelligence to provide a comprehensive prognostic evaluation.

Receive Detailed PDF Report*

After the analysis is complete, our platform generates a detailed PDF report within seconds. This report includes a recurrence risk score and other relevant insights derived from the image analysis. The PDF is easily accessible and can be shared with healthcare providers to aid in clinical decision-making.

*Research Use Only

Decision for or against adjuvant chemotherapy*

Based on the insights provided in the PDF report, healthcare professionals may make informed decisions on whether chemotherapy is necessary. Patients with a high risk score might be recommended to start chemotherapy right away without having to wait for the results from the molecular tests, while patients with a low risk score might be advised to omit chemotherapy. For patients with intermediate risk, chemotherapy treatment may be deferred until further confirmation.
