CA: VRS -2.47% (otcqx:VRSEF)(pink sheets:VRSEF) (the “Company” or “Verisante”) is pleased to announce that the results of a pilot study on lung cancer detection will be published in the prestigious Journal of Thoracic Oncology in July. The results of the pilot study indicate that the Company’s system technology could set a new standard for the early detection of lung cancer.
