World’s First AI-Powered Diagnostic Test Accurately Identifies Respiratory Viruses in Five Minutes
A world-first diagnostic test powered by AI that can identify known respiratory viruses within five minutes from just one nasal or throat swab could replace current testing methods which are limited to testing for just one infection or are either lab-based and time-consuming or fast and less accurate.

New Blood Test Detects Prostate Cancer With 94% Accuracy
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, creating the need for a blood test that can detect it with greater accuracy. Now, new research shows that the (Prostate Screening EpiSwitch) ‘PSE’ blood test is 94% accurate and much superior than the currently used prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test.

World’s First Comprehensive Risk Test for Breast & Ovarian Cancer Launched
The world’s first comprehensive risk assessment test can evaluate a woman’s risk of developing breast and/or ovarian cancer either from a hereditary genetic mutation or from the far more common familial or sporadic cancer. Combined with other clinical risk factors, the test provides a comprehensive risk assessment in a simple saliva test. More...08 Feb 2023

New Assay Determines if Bladder Cancer Patients Need Radical Surgery
A new assay tested in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer immediately following treatment with a combination of the immune checkpoint inhibitors in the neoadjuvant setting has demonstrated clinical potential for helping oncologists determine whether or not the patients need to undergo radical surgery. More...08 Feb 2023

Urine Prostate Cancer Screening Test Offers Best-In-Class Accuracy and Stratified Risk Assessment
A non-invasive, data-driven, urine prostate cancer screening test can provide highly accurate, stratified risk assessment insights to guide clinical decisions for patients with elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) or abnormal digital rectal exam (DRE) findings. More...07 Feb 2023

Nanotechnology-Based Blood Test Could Revolutionize Prostate Cancer Diagnosis
Researchers have developed a new nanotechnology-based test that can detect and profile prostate cancers - even in microscopic amounts. The “liquid biopsy” test can help patients avoid unnecessary treatment-related side effects and direct them instead to effective therapies that could extend their life span. More...06 Feb 2023

New Device Detects Brain Tumors Using Urine
Researchers have used a new device to identify a key membrane protein in urine that indicates whether a person has a brain tumor. By using the protein to detect brain cancer, it will be possible to avoid invasive tests and increase the chances of the tumor being detected at an early enough stage for surgery. More...06 Feb 2023
