miR Scientific to Present the Prostate Cancer Application of its Liquid Biopsy miR Disease Management Platform® at the 12th Annual Prostate Cancer Awareness Day (PCAD) at the Massachusetts State House
NEW YORK, Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- miR Scientific, LLC, a healthcare company whose purpose is to transform global cancer management by providing early and highly accurate detection, characterization and monitoring of disease, announced today that its Chairman & CEO, Sam Salman, will be virtually presenting at the 12th Annual Prostate Cancer Awareness Day at the Massachusetts State House on February 25, 2021. The event is being hosted by the AdMeTech Foundation.
Mr. Salman will introduce miR Scientific's proprietary, highly accurate, award winning sncRNA interrogation platform, highlight its recent FDA breakthrough designation and present miR's commercial launch plans for its non-invasive liquid biopsy urine test. Mr. Salman will also introduce the company's product pipeline and global growth initiatives, including a pioneering cooperation agreement to evaluate impact and deployment of the miR Sentinel™ Prostate Cancer Test in Puerto Rico.
"It is an honor to share miR Scientific's mission and technology at the 12th Annual Prostate Cancer Awareness Day event at the Massachusetts State House," said Sam Salman, miR Scientific's Chairman & CEO. "I will highlight our pioneering cooperation agreement with Puerto Rico along with the need to focus on high-risk and minority patients in need of quick treatment. Our prostate cancer test is a standalone, non-invasive liquid biopsy urine test that can, from a single urine specimen, accurately detect molecular evidence of prostate cancer and then classify the severity, or the risk grade, of the malignancy."
The Annual Prostate Cancer Awareness Day (PCAD) at the Massachusetts State House was established in September 2009 by the AdMeTech Foundation, a non-profit organization. This event resulted in the rapidly growing recognition of prostate cancer as a public health priority and support for increased research funding for the advancement of early diagnosis and treatment among key legislators in the Massachusetts General Court and US Congress. The mission of PCAD is to create a Massachusetts model of national leadership in prostate cancer research, education and awareness so that men and their doctors will be empowered to make informed and shared decisions on patient care options, including screening, diagnosis and treatment.
Dr. Faina Shtern, President and CEO of AdMeTech Foundation, the non-profit organization hosting the event added:" On behalf of the AdMeTech Foundation, I welcome groundbreaking innovations in non-invasive liquid biopsy that will be presented at our 12th Annual Prostate Cancer Awareness Day. I am particularly pleased that miR Scientific utilizes these cutting-edge advances in patient care and research to address health disparities."
