Our approach

DETECT TUMORS AT THE RIGHT TIME

Tumors develop into life-threatening diseases over many years. For many patients, symptoms do not appear until the tumor grows invasively and spreads. If a tumor is not detected until then, the chances of cure are usually poorer, and some treatment options are no longer available. In contrast, the chances of a cure are usually particularly good if a tumor is detected in time and can be completely removed by surgery.

This shows how important it is to detect tumors before the first symptoms appear.

CLOSING THE SCREENING GAP

With the introduction of early detection programs (e.g. Pap test for cervical carcinoma), the mortality rate due to cancer has been significantly reduced in the past. However, more than 100 different tumor types present the problem that regular, specific diagnostics cannot be performed or are not available for every specific tumor.

Using Germany as an example, it is currently the case that no regular early detection is available for around 55% of the approximately half a million new cases of cancer diagnosed each year. Early detection diagnostics must therefore fulfill various criteria: It should be tumor-independent, easy to perform, inexpensive, and minimally invasive.

Therefore, a procedure is needed that reliably detects tumors regardless of tumor entity.

COMPREHENSIVE
EARLY DETECTION

Our proprietary EDIM® Technology provides early indications of tumor activity, regardless of tumor identity.

At the same time, PanTum Detect® does not provide any indication of the tumor entity. It is therefore ideally used in combination with imaging procedures. These procedures can be used to rule out a suspected tumor or to localize and characterize an existing one.

THE SPECIAL FEATURE OF EDIM® TECHNOLOGY

The special feature of EDIM® Technology is that macrophages give us access to the site of the disease and this already in the phase of development of the disease.

By selecting the appropriate thresholds, we can determine at what point in the development of a disease the test will be positive. The disease and the typical course of the disease determine the appropriate time.

In the case of cancer, suspicion should only be raised when tumors reach a certain size, so that they can be detected by imaging techniques and a good assessment can be made. In order to detect tumors early, before the switch to invasiveness and metastasis occurs, we recommend annual testing.

This strategy can prevent overdiagnosis and overtreatment.

EARLY DETECTION OF ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE

EDIM® Technology can be used for the early detection of Alzheimer’s disease. As the disease develops, proteins such as tau protein and beta amyloid, which are associated with Alzheimer’s disease, can be detected in macrophages.

We also find increased concentrations of specific proteins in macrophages in these disease patterns.
