At AcuamarkDx, we're working to "Close the Care Gap" to support this year's World Cancer Day theme. Recent data from the Kaiser Family Foundation show that Black Americans continue to face the highest cancer mortality rate, partly due to diagnosis at later stages of disease, when it's harder to treat. We're developing novel technology that detects cancer-specific methylation with a simple PCR test as part of routine primary care checkups. Our mission is to ensure everyone has access to accurate, cost-effective cancer diagnosis at the earliest stages, shifting the paradigm for patients.

Cancer Prevention | Patients of Saint John's reveal how awareness, early detection, and perseverance have made a difference in their journey, providing insights into how they discovered their diagnosis, including colon cancer, breast, prostate, lung, stomach, and melanoma.
