Company Description

LS CancerDiag Ltd is committed to reducing cancer mortality rates with a low-cost, simple diagnostic method.

LS CancerDiag Ltd is committed to reducing cancer mortality rates with a low-cost, simple diagnostic method that detects an inherited cancer-causing condition prior to cancer. Their vision is to see DiagMMR as a new global testing standard in LS diagnostics. Lynch syndrome is the main cause of hereditary colorectal cancers and it also causes a broad spectrum of other tumors. With a significant proportion of the world’s population carrying the Lynch syndrome mutation, there are potentially tens of millions under a severe risk for being affected by LS. Their groundbreaking DiagMMR assay is an easy functional test that can be used for diagnosis of MMR deficiency i.e. Lynch syndrome (previously known as Hereditary Non­Polyposis Colorectal Cancer; HNPCC). Their mission is to save lives through an innovation that dramatically simplifies diagnostics of Lynch syndrome by delivering predictive and accurate results with a fast, unique and cost-efficient method globally.
