- Researchers at the University of Queensland created a screening method using extracellular vesicles to identify ovarian cancer.
- This test achieved perfect detection rates for early-stage (I and II) ovarian cancer across more than 500 samples.
- The technology is licensed to INOVIQ Ltd, which is assessing biomarker stability during sample transport and storage.
- The study seeks postmenopausal women aged 50 to 74 with intact ovaries and no ovarian cancer history.
