HENDERSON, Nev., March 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- VolitionRx Limited (NYSE AMERICAN: 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"
