June is Endometrial Cancer Awareness Month. Join us in raising awareness At MiMARK we aim to avoid unnecessary diagnostic procedures for any women suspicious of having endometrial cancer (EC). How can science help us to achieve this goal? 🧑🏻🔬 Our body is full of proteins involved in countless processes that are essential for our daily life. Cancers such as EC, can create changes in the quantity of specific proteins that are critical for the progression of the tumor, thus leaving traces of the disease. These 'signature’ proteins, called biomarkers, can be used to diagnose cancer without the need for surgery, and are the basis of many innovative advances in diagnostic tests. At MiMARK, we have identified several of these proteins to detect EC, and we are developing a new diagnostic tool/test, WomEC, that will be able to detect and measure the quantity of these proteins to give a quick and accurate diagnosis to women. #EndometrialCancerAwareness #ECAwareness #WomensHealth #CancerDiagnosis #GynecologicalCancer #ECMonth #FightEC #Innovation #MiMARK
