NAMUR, Belgium, March 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- VolitionRx Limited (NYSE MKT: VNRX) celebrated the company's recent announcement of a CE mark for its Nu.Q^TM Colorectal Cancer Screening Triage Test by ringing the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on Monday, March 13, 2017 at 4 p.m. U.S. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). Volition received CE Marking on the Nu.Q^TM Colorectal Cancer Screening Triage Test in December 2016 and is currently marketing this novel blood test in Europe.

The event was preceded earlier that day by a more traditional bell ringing ceremony at Trinity Church Wall Street led by Volition's Chairman, Dr. Martin Faulkes. Dr. Faulkes, a keen bell ringer, donated and installed the 12 bells at Trinity Church Wall Street in 2006.

Speaking about the celebration, Cameron Reynolds, CEO of Volition said: "We are very pleased to be at the NYSE at this very exciting time for Volition. We are coming to market with a diagnostic cancer test that we believe meets a pressing and immediate need in many European countries. Being able to offer healthcare systems a simple and easy to use blood test, which may be used to triage FIT positive populations for colorectal cancer, has the potential to make a significant and positive difference for their national colorectal cancer screening programs."
