Castle Biosciences Stock Price, News & Analysis

Castle Biosciences (NASDAQ: CSTL) has presented new data at the 19th European Association of Dermato-Oncology Congress in Rome, highlighting the effectiveness of its DecisionDx®-Melanoma test for patients with stage I cutaneous melanoma (CM). This innovative test enhances risk stratification compared to the traditional AJCC staging, which relies solely on clinical and pathologic factors. Specifically, DecisionDx-Melanoma shows improved recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates of 97.3% for low-risk Class 1A compared to 77.3% for high-risk Class 2B. Additionally, it demonstrates better melanoma-specific survival (MSS) with rates of 98.0% for Class 1A versus 92.3% for Class 2B. Notably, high-risk patients identified by the test were 5.4 times more likely to die from melanoma compared to AJCC-staged patients, indicating the potential of DecisionDx-Melanoma in guiding enhanced clinical care.

Castle Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: CSTL) announced new findings from a patient simulation study to be presented at ESGE Days 2023. The study indicated that the TissueCypher® Barrett’s Esophagus test significantly enhances management decisions for patients with low-grade dysplasia (LGD) in Barrett’s esophagus (BE). Results showed that the likelihood of appropriate treatment increased from 9% with pathology alone to 77.3% when using TissueCypher results. This test may help reduce both unnecessary endoscopies for low-risk patients and improve outcomes for high-risk patients. The presentation will occur on April 22 in Dublin, Ireland, highlighting the potential of TissueCypher to standardize treatment and reduce the risk of advancing to esophageal cancer.
