The study analyzed the performance of Signatera Genome in a cohort of 392 patients (&gt; 2,600 plasma samples) across five different tumor types (breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, and colorectal cancer). Key results included:
<ul>
<li>Excellent pan-cancer performance: Signatera Genome demonstrated overall longitudinal sensitivity of 94% and specificity of 100% across 5 cancer types. Longitudinal sensitivity was 100% in lung cancer and renal cancer, and post-surgical landmark sensitivity was over 70% in both lung cancer and breast cancer.</li>
<li>Ultrasensitive detection: In the surveillance setting, nearly 50% of Signatera-positive cases were detected in the ultra-sensitive range (≤100 parts per million).</li>
<li>Highly predictive of long-term outcomes: In the pancancer cohort, patients who tested Signatera-negative had excellent prognosis, with 100% distant relapse-free survival (DRFS) at 12 months and 99% at 24 months. In contrast, Signatera-positive patients faced a markedly higher risk of recurrence, with DRFS dropping to 41% at 12 months and just 14% at 24 months.</li>
<li>Extended lead times: Signatera Genome detected recurrence 3 months earlier, on average, compared to the Signatera Exome assay.</li>
<li>Demonstrates Signatera's potential to identify which patients may benefit from adjuvant therapy: Among Signatera-positive patients, those who received adjuvant therapy had significantly improved outcomes, with a 12-month DRFS of 83% compared to 49% for those who did not receive therapy. For Signatera-negative patients, there was no meaningful benefit from adjuvant therapy with a 12-month DRFS of 93% (treated) vs. 98% (observation).</li>

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
