IMMray™ PanCan-d highlighted in meeting arranged by Pancreatic Cancer Action Network

April 16, 2021

LUND (SWEDEN) – Immunovia’s bloodtest IMMray™ PanCan-d was mentioned in the seminar “The latest in early detection for pancreatic cancer” arranged by Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (pancan.org) on April 15, 2021.

Dr. Rosalie Sears, professor in the department of molecular and medical genetics at Oregon Health and Science University, expressed her enthusiasm for Immunovias bloodtest and the test performance. She was especially impressed by the fact that a non-invasive bloodtest can be used to detect early stages I and II of pancreatic cancer which is crucial for improving treatment outcomes in pancreatic cancer care.

Oregon Health and Science University is one out of 23 centers participating in Immunovia’s study PanFAM-1, one of the largest prospective studies to date focusing on early diagnosis in high-risk individuals with Familial/Hereditary Pancreatic Cancer (FPC).
