Global Edmonton Health reporter Su-Ling Goh highlighted 5 amazing medical technologies and treatments from Edmonton research teams and ClarityDX Prostate was one of them!
Alberta scientists, at Nanostics, have created a blood test that could make a significant impact in the way patients are tested and treated for prostate cancer.
EDMONTON — Alberta Innovates, the Alberta Cancer Foundation and DynaLIFE have joined together to help commercialize Alberta-owned innovations...
A new diagnostic will allow men to bypass painful biopsies to test for aggressive prostate cancer.
A new diagnostic will allow men to bypass painful biopsies to test for aggressive prostate cancer.
Alberta men diagnosed with prostate cancer could soon have a better blood test to help determine if they can bypass a painful and invasive biopsy.
The PSA test for prostate cancer has been linked to unnecessary treatments and biopsies. That’s prompted researchers to start developing a more accurate prostate cancer detection tool.
NEWS STAFF REPORT: Blood test predicts aggressive prostate cancer with greater accuracy and less patient discomfort.
Ana Pena wrote for the Prostate Cancer News Today: The company says the diagnostic tool has the potential to spare many men unnecessary biopsies and treatments.
1 of 7 Canadian men is diagnosed with prostate cancer each year. We cannot emphasize enough on how important it is to get tested each year. Nanostics has come up with a non-invasive diagnostic test to bring clarity to healthcare decisions. Their core technology is in development to be able to diagnose prostate cancer from a simple blood test.
We are pleased to present PROSPeCT, a user-friendly online clinical information system that offers an efficient way to query APCaRIs (www.APCaRI.ca) robust and expanding patient database to generate relevant and accurate results. Read the details in our article published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology - Clinical Cancer Informatics. Thank you to the Alberta Cancer Foundation and many others for their support.

LEWISThis is a micro-review of an original research article from the Lewis research group that identified multiple novel metastasis-blocking targets, by using a whole genome screen and intravital imaging approach, that could be used as therapeutic targets to inhibit solid tumour cell motility.
Author: Konstantin Stoletov, Lian Willetts, Perrin H. Beatty, and John D. LewisNanoparticle platforms are attractive for theranostic applications due to their multifunctionality and multivalency. Some of the most promising nano-scale scaffolds have been co-opted from nature, such as the cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV). What makes CPMV so promising? They are non-infectious and nontoxic to humans and safe for use in intravital imaging and drug delivery. Click on the link to read more.
