LUND, Sweden, Sept. 14, 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 the
largest patient organization for pancreatic cancer in the US –
Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) – informed their
constituents about Immunovia, Inc.'s blood test IMMray™ PanCan-d on
its website, in social media and through direct email contact.
PanCAN underlines that IMMray™ PanCan-d is the first-ever
blood test specific for pancreatic cancer and is available to
people considered at high risk for the disease, due to family
history or genetic alterations. PanCAN describes that the test is
requested through one's doctor, who also will receive the test
results from Immunovia, Inc. Interested individuals can contact
PanCAN Patient Services, which provides free information and
answers questions about the IMMray™ PanCan-d test.
"Pancreatic cancer is a tough disease. There isn't an early
detection test for the general population, and there are very few
treatment options, so it's exciting to see progress being made. The
Immunovia IMMray™ PanCan-d test is an important step for some
patients to be diagnosed earlier, have more treatment options and
live longer", said Julie
Fleshman, JD, MBA, President and CEO of Pancreatic Cancer
Action Network (PanCAN).
"It's of tremendous value that PanCAN helps to raise awareness
about Immunovia, Inc.'s blood test IMMray™ PanCan-d in the US.
PanCAN reaches a very wide audience and speaks directly to persons
in the familial/hereditary risk group that need to be given the
opportunity to get tested", said Patrik
Dahlen, Immunovia's CEO.
IMMray™ PanCan-d was launched by Immunovia, Inc. in the US in
August and is currently available in all states except from
New York, California, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island.
