LUND, Sweden, Oct. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Immunovia AB (publ)
("Immunovia"), a diagnostic company that develops and sells highly
accurate blood tests for the early detection of cancer, today
announced that Thomas King, MD, PhD,
Medical Director of Immunovia, Inc. was invited to present to the
U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI) Pancreatic Cancer Detection
Consortium (PCDC) as a keynote speaker at their upcoming Steering
Committee Meeting, taking place virtually on December 13-14, 2021.
Dr. Thomas King's keynote
presentation will focus on Immunovia's recent progress on the early
detection of pancreatic cancer and the study results for the
IMMray™ PanCan-d test. Immunovia's IMMray™ PanCan-d test is the
world's first blood test dedicated to early detection of pancreatic
cancer. It is available as a laboratory developed test in the US
exclusively through Immunovia, Inc..
"We are very excited to participate in this NCI sponsored
program since we feel that robust biomarkers such as those
contained in the IMMray™ PanCan-d test represent the best current
opportunity to impact the survival of PDAC patients by detecting
tumors at an early stage when they are potentially resectable,"
said Dr. Thomas King.
The main objective of the PCDC is to "develop and test new
molecular and imaging biomarkers to improve the detection of
early-stage pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and its
precursor lesions and identify individuals who are at high risk of
developing PDAC and are candidates for early intervention."
There are eight PCDC teams focused on this objective, with
Principal Investigators from leading pancreatic cancer academic
centers around the US.
