The company JVS Diagnostics LLC is developing and organizing the manufacturing of the immunochemical diagnostic test kits targeted for early detection of cancer. The major product of the company is the diagnostic test kit based on the innovative Marker for Epithelial Carcinomas MEC, which appears on the surface of the malignant epithelial cells from the very onset of oncogenesis.
Thus, the innovativeness of the “MEC" technology and its competitive
advantage over other cancer markers is that it is very effective method for
early detection of the
epithelial
tumors. The
test can be performed in combination with other registered cancer markers such
as PSA, CA-125, CA-15-3, CEA or as independent screening instrument that
significantly increases overall survival of the patients.
In addition to the early detection of cancer, the technology “MEC" can
also be effectively used for cancer monitoring in patients with advanced cancer
and for the evaluation of the treatment effectiveness, as well as for the
relapse diagnosis in patients, as it was previously shown in a blind clinical
study. The dynamics of the MEC biomarker’s changes during the course of
chemotherapy in patients with advanced cancer of the stomach and the lung
showed a good correlation (75%) with the patient’s overall response status
according to the RECIST criteria. It was shown that there is a possibility of
using the technology “MEC" for monitoring of the cancer disease and for
assessing of an ongoing systemic treatment.
The test kit is designed for:
1) Detection of the early stages of epithelial cancer, such as breast cancer,
prostate cancer, lung cancer, stomach cancer, ovarian cancer, etc.
2) Monitoring the treatment of cancer patients using the dynamics of the CA-62
marker during chemotherapy. This allows to quickly (within 1 month) identify
the inefficiency of some therapy and to change the course.
