Solve common challenges in ASCC surveillance
sooner and more definitively.
Up to 30% of patients with HPV-driven ASCC will experience persistent disease or recurrence.1
Imaging is typically delayed until ~26 weeks post-treatment due to treatment-related inflammation, fibrosis, and tissue changes that make earlier imaging unreliable, creating a window where disease is otherwise unmonitored.
Standard surveillance modalities often result in clinically indeterminate findings (CIFs) 1,2, with CIFs being most frequent during the first year following CRT.
NavDx® testing offers a comprehensive assessment for MRD, recurrence, and local or distant metastatic disease in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients that outperforms standard modalities.
NavDx testing is unaffected by localized side effects of radiation therapy2 so you can begin getting valuable insight into your patient’s post-treatment cancer status at any time.
NavDx testing offers a low 1.3% indeterminate rate compared to clinical exam and imaging.2
Resolve Clinically Indeterminate Findings
with a Single Blood Draw.
Clinically indeterminate findings (CIFs) are one of the most challenging aspects of ASCC surveillance, but NavDx testing can help resolve them. Data from two multi-site studies showed 42-44% of patients had at least one CIF during surveillance visits.1,2 Seventeen percent of indeterminate findings resulted from imaging and 7% from exams.2 NavDx testing resolved these equivocal findings with 92%-94% accuracy with a single test.1,2 And for those tests that returned a positive result, 100% concordance was found.2
Find Recurrence Sooner, with Fewer False Alarms.
Published studies show NavDx testing enables earlier detection of recurrence versus imaging, clinical exams, or appearance of symptoms.1,2
The NavDx Test is Different from Other Liquid Biopsies.
See why, and find more of the benefits for you and your patients.
Standard liquid biopsy tests look for cancer-related mutations in human DNA. Because HPV-driven tumors typically carry very few of these mutations, standard tests may not be the best match for your patient. The NavDx test was built specifically to detect the viral DNA that is present in HPV+ cancer cells, not mutations in human DNA.
Every patient with HPV+ cancer carries the same viral cancer-driving genes. That means the NavDx test does not need to be customized to each patient’s unique tumor profile. It was engineered with a singular purpose: To detect HPV+ cancer, with exceptional precision. Other benefits of NavDx testing include:
-
Tumor-Agnostic: Start testing at any point along the care journey with just a simple blood draw. No baseline test needed. No tumor tissue needed. No genomic profile. No custom assay.
-
Faster Results: Get results within 7 business days of receipt of the specimen at our lab.
-
Medicare Coverage: NavDx testing for surveillance of HPV+ anal squamous cell carcinoma is covered under Medicare when test-specific medical necessity criteria are met, so eligible fee-for-service beneficiaries typically have $0 out-of-pocket cost.
-
Accessible Phlebotomy Options: NavDx-Arranged Phlebotomy, supported by our responsive in-house Patient Navigation Team, lets patients choose where they have their blood drawn, making testing more convenient and accessible.
