Avant Diagnostics, Inc. (AVDX) Developing the Future of Ovar Avant Diagnostics, Inc. (AVDX) Developing the Future of Ovarian Cancer Screenings
Ovarian cancer is the eighth most common form of cancer in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and it’s the fifth leading cause of cancer deaths. This dangerous form of cancer begins as a growth of abnormal malignant cells in the ovaries before spreading to other sites within the body. Although we still don’t know exactly what causes ovarian cancers, we do know that some factors make women more likely to develop epithelial ovarian cancer during their lifetime. According to the American Cancer Society, both inherited genetic mutations and acquired genetic changes can place women at a heightened risk of developing this dangerous condition.
For women in an elevated risk category for ovarian cancer, regular screening and, if necessary, early detection can play a major role in overall health and wellbeing. If diagnosed in its early stages, ovarian cancer is an extremely survivability illness. When discovered in stage one, approximately 92 percent of ovarian cancer cases surpass the recorded five-year survival milestone. Despite this statistic, the average five-year survival rate for ovarian cancer is just 44 percent. This is because only 15 percent of ovarian cancers are currently diagnosed during stage one, according to Healthline.
Avant Diagnostics, Inc. (OTCQB: AVDX) is on a mission to improve the survivability of ovarian cancer by giving women access to more effective early detection technology. The company’s pre-symptomatic ovarian cancer screening test, OvaDx®, is a leading breakthrough in the field of ovarian cancer diagnostics. OvaDx is a sophisticated microarray-based test that measures the activation of the immune system in blood samples in response to early stage ovarian tumor cell development. In clinical research, the test has indicated high sensitivity and specificity for all types and stages of ovarian cancer.
Following FDA approval, Avant intends to offer OvaDx as an elective test for women in the elevated risk category for ovarian cancer, as well as those seeking greater wellness. As the market’s first large panel screening test for ovarian cancer, OvaDx is expected to greatly improve the early diagnosis rate of ovarian cancer and, as a result, advance the survivability of this deadly disease.
