MONTREAL, Oct. 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Theratechnologies Inc. (“Theratechnologies” or the “Company”) (TSX: TH) (NASDAQ: THTX), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative therapies, today announced that the Company will present data from tissue microarrays showing high expression of SORT1, the target for Theratechnologies’ oncology platform, in several cancer types. The data will be presented in a poster session at the 34th joint symposium of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC), the National Cancer Institute (NCI), and the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), to be held October 26-28, 2022, in Barcelona, Spain.
