    FRIENDSWOOD, Texas, Sept. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Castle Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSTL), a company improving health through innovative tests that guide patient care, today announced that new data demonstrating the personalized risk stratification provided by its TissueCypher Barrett's Esophagus test will be shared via a podium presentation at the American Foregut Society's (AFS) 2025 Annual Meeting, taking place Sept. 11-13, 2025, in Dallas.

    "The findings being presented at AFS underscore the importance of moving beyond standard pathology when assessing progression risk in patients with Barrett's esophagus," said lead study author Caitlin C. Houghton, M.D., board-certified foregut surgeon at Keck Medicine of USC in Los Angeles. "TissueCypher provides an added level of precision that is designed to reveal high-risk patients who might otherwise be overlooked, potentially enabling personalized surveillance and treatment strategies aimed at reducing their chances of developing esophageal cancer."

    Details regarding the podium presentation are included below:

    Title: Patients With Non-Dysplastic Barrett's Esophagus Received Individualized Risk Stratification With the Tissue Systems Pathology Test

    • Presenter and Lead Author: Caitlin C. Houghton, M.D.
    • Session: AFS Podium Presentations
    • Date & Time: Saturday, September 13, 10-10:10 a.m. Central time
    • Location: Tate B

    For patients with Barrett's esophagus (BE), regular endoscopic surveillance is intended to catch signs of disease progression early, when endoscopic eradication therapy (EET) can be most effective in preventing advancement to high-grade dysplasia (HGD) or esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Many doctors rely on a patient's clinical history and pathology results to estimate cancer risk and set intervals for follow-up endoscopic surveillance. These population-based risk estimates have done little to slow the rising incidence of esophageal cancer. This underscores the need for more precise tools, like TissueCypher, that can help identify a patient's individual risk of progressing to cancer and guide care that is better aligned to that risk.

    This study evaluated TissueCypher's ability to stratify risk in 85 patients diagnosed with NDBE who received test results from four surgical practices. Patients with NDBE are generally considered to have the lowest risk of cancer progression, and current guidelines recommend surveillance every three to five years. However, while 85% of patients in the study received low-risk TissueCypher results, 15% were classified as intermediate- or high-risk by the TissueCypher test, indicating a significantly higher likelihood of progressing to HGD or EAC than their pathology results suggested. Patients with intermediate-risk scores had a median five-year progression probability of 9%, and those with high-risk scores had a 16% probability. Both groups exceeded the 8.5% five-year risk of progression associated with expert-confirmed LGD based on population estimates, which is the threshold at which guidelines recommend escalating to EET or more frequent surveillance every six to twelve months.

    These findings show that TissueCypher can deliver clinically meaningful risk insights that can help physicians better tailor care for patients with BE. Notably, patients in the study with intermediate- and high-risk scores had similar or greater predicted progression risk than patients diagnosed with LGD, despite having a NDBE diagnosis. By identifying low-risk patients whose care can follow guideline-based surveillance intervals and intermediate- and high-risk patients who may benefit from earlier intervention, TissueCypher can potentially support more precise, risk-aligned management aimed at preventing disease progression.

    About TissueCypher Barrett's Esophagus Test

    The TissueCypher Barrett's Esophagus test is Castle's precision medicine test designed to predict future development of high-grade dysplasia (HGD) and/or esophageal cancer in patients with Barrett's esophagus (BE). The TissueCypher Barrett's Esophagus test is indicated for use in patients with endoscopic biopsy confirmed BE that is graded non-dysplastic (NDBE), indefinite for dysplasia (IND) or low-grade dysplasia (LGD); its clinical performance has been supported by 16 peer-reviewed publications of BE progressor patients with leading clinical centers around the world. The test received Advanced Diagnostic Laboratory Test (ADLT) status from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in March 2022.
