New Study Shows Normal GastroPanel® Result Safely Rules Out Need for Gastroscopy

Major Cost Savings Possible

A newly published clinical study confirms that when GastroPanel® results are normal, upper endoscopy (gastroscopy) is typically unnecessary.

This is a significant breakthrough for global healthcare systems struggling with tight budgets, rising costs, long waiting lists, and limited specialist capacity.

Why this matters

  • Up to 90% of gastroscopies could be avoided when GastroPanel® is normal.
  • Gastroscopy is invasive, expensive and resource-intense.
  • Eliminating unnecessary procedures could save millions annually while freeing capacity for patients who truly need endoscopy.

The research, known as the Kappa-Study, was conducted at Oulu University Hospital and published in Anticancer Research (2025). It shows a very high agreement between GastroPanel® results and biopsy histology, confirming the test as a reliable non-invasive triage tool for patients with upper-abdominal symptoms.

Biohit CEO Jussi Hahtela:
“The results speak clearly: if GastroPanel® is normal, gastroscopy is almost never needed. This is a turning point that could save huge costs and significantly shorten waiting lists.”

GastroPanel® is currently gaining international attention as a scalable solution to improve efficiency in gastric diagnostics.
