• In March 2020, F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd declared the US FDA approval of CINtec PLUS Cytology. It is the first biomarker-based triage test for women whose primary results of cervical cancer screening are positive for the human papillomavirus (HPV) using cobas 4800 HPV Test. It can more facilitate clinical decisions by offering easy to understand results that will support clinicians and women to take further steps. 

The Roche cobas 4800 HPV Test, used along with CINtec histology and CINtec PLUS cytology that can offer powerful support to the labs and clinicians in the US. The CINtec PLUS cytology test features dual-stain biomarker technology that enables to detect the simultaneous presence of the two biomarkers within a single cell, including Ki-67 and p16, which is linked with HPV infections. As a result, the test holds the ability to differentiate those women who are at considerable risk for cervical disease.

• In June 2019, PHC Holdings Corp. acquired Anatomical Pathology business from Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., for nearly $1.1billion. Anatomical Pathology business of Thermo Fisher Scientific is a part of Specialty Diagnostics division, which includes instruments, consumables, and microscope slides. The portfolio covers consumables and laboratory equipment for rabbit monoclonal antibodies, histology and cytology testing, digital pathology products, and other pathology instruments.

With the acquisition of Thermo Fisher’s Anatomical Pathology business,a new stand-alone company named Epredia was established to serve comprehensive anatomical pathology solutions. This acquisition will enable to strengthen the diagnostics business of PHC Holdings Corp. by enhancing the cancer product portfolio and will leverage further growth of the business.

• In September 2018, Koninklijke Philips N.V. declared the release of Tissue Mark, a computational pathology software which is intended for the region of interest detection for a large number of molecular testing. This will support research laboratories to improve tumor estimation accuracy. Apart from offering tumor sufficiency guidance for lung cytology, lung histology, and tissue samples of colon and breast in 60 seconds, the updated TissueMark software will offer this guidance to high-grade serous carcinoma ovarian tissue and whole slide images (WSI) of adenocarcinoma prostate tissue. This update will allow TissueMark to exhibit awide-ranging portfolio of AI-powered applications. The software will leverage deep learning AI to support in the identification of prostate and ovarian tumor tissues.
