Paige CEO Andy Moye said: “We are thrilled with the decision from the FDA to recognise the importance of AI in managing metastatic disease in breast cancer patients.

“The Paige Lymph Node algorithm saves pathologists time and provides critical information for pathologists to support their diagnosis amidst unprecedented demands and resource constraints.”

Earlier, the company received breakthrough designation for its Paige Prostate Detect AI application, which enables the detection of cancerous prostate tissue. It is approved for clinical use with the Philips Ultrafast Scanner in the US.

Paige also obtained approval from the FDA for the Paige FullFocus whole-slide image viewer intended for primary diagnosis.
