flag UnitedHealthcare now covers Plus Therapeutics’ CSF tumor test for 51 million Americans, boosting access to a highly accurate test for brain cancer monitoring.

flag Plus Therapeutics' subsidiary CNSide Diagnostics has secured a national coverage agreement with UnitedHealthcare, effective September 15, 2025, granting access to its CSF Tumor Cell Enumeration laboratory-developed test for over 51 million Americans. flag The test, used for diagnosing and monitoring leptomeningeal metastases, has shown 92% sensitivity and 95% specificity, influencing treatment decisions in 90% of cases based on data from over 11,000 tests at more than 120 U.S. cancer centers since 2020. flag Supported by nine peer-reviewed studies and the FORESEE trial, the test enables quantitative analysis of tumor cells and circulating DNA. flag The Houston-based lab earned CMS accreditation, and Plus Therapeutics received a $1.9 million advance from CPRIT as part of a $17.6 million grant. flag Despite these developments, the company’s stock closed at $0.39 in premarket trading.
