Artificial Intelligence in Breast Cancer Diagnostics – Another Scientific Achievement of MultiplexDX

MultiplexDX International has reached another significant scientific milestone. In collaboration with leading experts from universities and oncology institutes in New York, Dresden, Milan, Heidelberg,and Erlangen, we have published a research article in the prestigious journal Nature Communications. This marks our second publication in this renowned journal in 2025.

In the article, we introduce anew computational test called Orpheus, which utilizes multimodal artificial intelligence to predict the risk of breast cancer recurrence in women more accurately. Orpheus analyzes routinely available histological slides(H&E) and pathology reports, offering a faster, more accessible, and cost-effective solution compared to the widely used Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score® test.

The Orpheus test was developed and validated using 6,172 patient samples, accurately identifying patients at high risk of disease recurrence and significantly outperforming Oncotype DX in assessing metastatic risk among patients who would not usually receive chemotherapy. Whether Orpheus proves to be more precise than OncotypeDX will be determined by further prospective clinical validation.

MultiplexDX strongly believes in the potential of the StratifAI team, led by Omar El Nahhas, which developed the test. Together with the Slovak venture fund Neulogy Ventures, we invested in StratifAI, which is now among the most innovative and fastest-growing startups in Europe.

Our ambition is to see AI-driven solutions extend to other types of cancer in the future, contributing to the advancement of personalized medicine that can identify the most effective treatment for each patient.
