The next step for diagnosing
endometrial cancer






Unmet clinical need
Abnormal vaginal bleeding affects 9M women in EU and US yearly. Diagnosis of endometrial cancer is mandatory since 10% of these women will suffer it. Current diagnosis is based on the pathological examination of an endometrial biopsy (pipelle biopsy), but this fails to diagnose 22% of patients, and provides an inaccurate diagnosis in 55% of cases. This failure is associated to the scarce cellularity of the sample. In those cases, invasive diagnosis using histeroscopy needs to be performed.
ENDOMETRIAL CANCER
4th
most common cancer
6th
most deathly cancer



IVD test based on the assessment of 5 protein biomarkers in the uterine fluid
Solution
WomEC is an in vitro diagnostic tool based on the determination of 5 protein biomarkers in uterine fluid samples to provide diagnosis to 100% of patients, rule out endometrial cancer with great specificity, and provide information on histological subtype of the tumor to guide surgical treatment.
WomEC is now being developed as an easy, quick and less costly diagnostic kit to facilitate the clinical implementation in clinical laboratories.



OUTCOMES | IMPACT |
