miRoncol
A miracle in oncology made possible with miRNA
Save lives with early cancer detection
Cancer is the second leading cause of death now and is estimated to be the No.1 cause of death globally by the mid-2020s. Multi-cancer early detection could lead to a 40% reduction in cancer deaths.
Screen 12+ cancers in one test
miRoncol can detect 12+ types of solid tumor cancers accountable for ~60% of total cancer death today.
High Accuracy
miRoncol test can detect early stage cancers with high detection rate while keep false positive rate low.
Non-invasive and convenient
miRoncol test is based on a simple blood draw and can be done at annual check up.
Low cost and easy to scale up
miRoncol brings an affordable solution that can be done through PCR which is mature and cheaper. It can also expand and roll out worldwide more quickly.
