Session: Poster Session B
Session Date and Start Time: Wednesday, January 15, 2020 at 12:30 p.m. ET
About Cchek™
Cchek™ is an early cancer detection
technology, that measures a patient's immunological response to a
malignancy by analyzing immune system cells in peripheral blood.
The goal is to utilize the technology to determine a
patient's cancer status from a simple blood draw, eliminating the
need for a biopsy, which can be an expensive, painful and invasive
procedure. Further, conventional methods using current cancer
screening tests often lack accuracy and reliability. Anixa's
orthogonal approach using flow cytometry coupled with artificial
intelligence provides an alternative method that offers improved
affordability, efficacy and efficiency. To date, Anixa has
successfully used Cchek™ to detect the presence of 20 different
cancers including lung, colon, breast and prostate. The
robust cancer detection performance of Cchek™ makes it a platform
from which multiple cancer diagnostic tests may be developed.
On December 16, 2019, Anixa announced
the commercial launch of the Cchek™ Prostate Cancer Confirmation
test (Cchek™ PCC), the first test developed with the
Cchek™ liquid biopsy technology.
