"We are pleased to be presenting our latest data on Cchek at this special Artificial Intelligence conference. This poster will discuss prostate cancer detection, which we have previously announced is our first commercial focus. The data will discuss Cchek’s ability to distinguish between tumor bearing and healthy individuals as well as between tumor bearing and those with benign prostate conditions, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It is well known that the majority of men (upwards of 85-90%) who get prostate biopsies do not have cancer. The current screening technique, which measures circulating levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA), causes many men to undergo unnecessary biopsies due to its poor accuracy. Our recent Cchek data demonstrates that many of these unneeded biopsies may be avoided. More details of the ongoing study will be available after the presentation," stated Dr. Amit Kumar, President and CEO of Anixa.
