EPI-CAN new generation of liquid biopsy biomarkers

EPI-CAN brings new generation of epigenetic biomarkers for clinical applications.

Research

Our preliminary research results are available from:

Early cancer diagnosis increases 4 times survival rate*

Early cancer diagnostic tests based on liquid biopsy concept, not only saves lives, but also bring significant reductions of the cost of cancer management in the health care systems.

What is
liquid biopsy?

A liquid biopsy is a blood-based diagnostic test that detects cancer DNA circulating in the bloodstream, referred to as “circulating tumor DNA” or more generally "cell-free DNA".

About EPI-CAN

Spin-off based on patent pending technology, developed at The Independent Clinical Epignetic Laboratory, Pomeranian Medical University in Szczecin, Poland.

Proof-of-concept

We have proofed that our solution can be used to detect and classify a cancer using liquid biopsy. Soon to be published in peer-review journal.
