If early detection is an individual’s greatest weapon battling cancer, then precision screenings that improve the diagnosis should be the best tool for the job.
“Cancer screenings have to change; they have to improve and evolve with 21st-century technology. There is currently a paradigm shift within the oncology industry and the technologies available to clinicians,” Dr. Helmke says. To meet the demand for more effective, modern choices to confirm and treat cancer, NuView Life Sciences is introduced testing a proprietary NV-VPAC1 peptide platform, invented by Dr Mathew Thakur and colleagues at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, PA.
NV-VPAC1 is a proprietary peptide construct that targets the Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide (PACAP) receptor known as VPAC1 which is overexpressed in high density on the surface of cancer cells. When paired with imaging methods, this test will facilitate physicians with a more precise diagnosis tool which additionally allows targeted therapy delivery.
The Cancer Consortium recently called NuView’s precision medicine technology a “breakthrough…uniquely positioned to confirm cancer” on the cell surface with greater than 95% sensitivity. (6)
“Don’t let fear stop you from taking care of yourself. Cancer screenings are an important tool. We at NuView Life Sciences urge the general public to carry on with their medical testing,” says Crowe.
