VolitionRx to Present at the Aegis Capital Corp. 2014 Healthcare & Technology Conference

NAMUR, Belgium, Sept. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- VolitionRx Limited (OTCQB: VNRX), a life sciences company focused on developing blood-based diagnostic tests for a broad range of cancer types, today announced that its Chief Executive Officer, Cameron Reynolds, is scheduled to present at the Aegis Capital 2014 Healthcare & Technology Conference, being held September 10-13, 2014 at The Encore at Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas, NV.

Mr. Reynolds will present on Thursday, September 11, 2014 at 9:00 a.m. PT. During his presentation, he will discuss top-line results from analysis of an initial representative 938-subject sample from VolitionRx's 4,800-subject retrospective colorectal cancer blood diagnostic pilot study at Hvidovre Hospital, Denmark. Mr. Reynolds will also outline VolitionRx's business milestones and growth strategy. 

VolitionRx's NuQ® tests utilize the Company's proprietary Nucleosomics® platform, which identifies and measures circulating nucleosome structures for the presence of epigenetic cancer signals within the blood. As part of the Denmark trial, VolitionRx is analyzing samples from approximately 4,800 subjects with colorectal cancer, polyps or adenomas, benign bowel diseases or other malignancies, all of whom have undergone a colonoscopy.  Under the trial design, VolitionRx has full access to all Danish national registries and databases. The trial is designed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the NuQ® test for colorectal cancer.

Details of the presentation are as follows:
