Volition Announces Abstract Demonstrating Risk Stratification in Lung Cancer Presented at the European Lung Cancer Conference
HENDERSON, Nev., March 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- VolitionRx Limited (NYSE:VNRX) ("Volition"), a multi-national epigenetics company, announces the presentation of an abstract at the European Lung Cancer Conference (ELCC) in Copenhagen, Denmark this week. The poster highlighted the use of its Nu.Q® Cancer assays in the management of lung cancer patients.
Poster 244P : Preoperative Nucleosome Liquid Biopsy for Prognostic Stratification in Lung Cancer With Treatment Correlation1
Joint lead author Dr. Pei-Hsing Chen, Assistant Professor, Surgical Department, National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei City, Taiwan, said:
"A key finding from this study was that measuring preoperative H3K27Me3-nucleosomes using Volition's simple blood test allows us to identify which Non Small Cell Lung Cancer patients are most likely to benefit from closer follow-ups or secondary cancer treatment.
"While high H3K27Me3-nucleosome levels predicted poorer recurrence-free and overall survival outcomes, low H3K27me3 levels indicated significantly better outcomes.
"Volition's Nu.Q® H3K27Me3-nucleosome levels may also help identify micro-metastatic disease and support systemic treatment decision-making in high-risk patients.
"The Nu.Q® Cancer technology supports a practical approach to empower clinicians to make more informed treatment decisions and provides valuable new monitoring capabilities throughout the patient journey."
Dr Andrew Retter, Medical Consultant, Volition, said:
"Nu.Q® Cancer represents a significant advancement in lung cancer patient management, offering clinicians an additional tool to enhance precision in treatment selection and monitoring.
"Research conducted by our long-term collaborators in Taiwan and Lyon1-4 consistently demonstrates that our Nu.Q® Cancer technology empowers clinicians to make more informed treatment decisions and provides valuable new monitoring capabilities throughout the patient journey.
"By enriching clinical prognostication, Nu.Q® Cancer helps identify the most appropriate treatment pathway for an individual patient, supporting efforts to improve overall survival and deliver patient-centred care.
"We are now on the path to the first use of Nu.Q® in clinical practice, an exciting prospect which is core to Volition's mission, using our tests to help save lives"

These forward-looking statements relate to, among other topics, Volition's expectations related to revenue opportunities and growth, the effectiveness and availability of Volition's blood-based diagnostic, prognostic and disease monitoring tests, Volition's ability to develop and successfully commercialize such test platforms for early detection of cancer and other diseases as well as serving as a diagnostic, prognostic or disease monitoring tools for such diseases, Volition's expectations regarding future publications, Volition's success in securing licensing and/or distribution agreements with third parties for its products, and Volition's expectations regarding the terms of such agreements. Volition's actual results may differ materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements due to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, results of studies testing the efficacy of its tests. For instance, if Volition fails to develop and commercialize diagnostic, prognostic or disease monitoring products, it may be unable to execute its plan of operations. Other risks and uncertainties include Volition's failure to obtain necessary regulatory clearances or approvals to distribute and market future products; a failure by the marketplace to accept the products in Volition's development pipeline or any other diagnostic, prognostic or disease monitoring products Volition might develop; Volition's failure to secure adequate intellectual property protection; Volition will face fierce competition and Volition's intended products may become obsolete due to the highly competitive nature of the diagnostics and disease monitoring market and its rapid technological change; downturns in domestic and foreign economies; and other risks, including those identified in Volition's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as well as other documents that Volition files with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
