About MetaStat, Inc.
MetaStat’s proprietary platform technologies are the result of over 15 years of collaboration involving four scientific/academic institutions, which enabled us to characterize the behavior, mechanics and genetics of metastatic cancer cells.
Our MetaSite Breast and MenaCalc diagnostic product lines are designed to accurately predict the probability of cancer metastasizing. They are intended to allow clinicians to better “customize” cancer treatment decisions by positively identifying and differentiating high-risk patients who need aggressive therapy and by sparing low-risk patients from the harmful side effects and expense of chemotherapy and radiation therapies. Furthermore, we believe our MenaCalc diagnostic platform may be applicable in up to 80% of all solid epithelial cancers, including breast, prostate, lung and colorectal, which account for over 50% of all new cancer cases in the U.S. each year. As such, we believe our diagnostic products represent a significant breakthrough for cancer patients and their doctors because 90% of all solid tumor cancer deaths are due from systemic metastasis.
Additionally, we believe our MenaBloc chemotherapy technology will target and interrupt key pathways essential for the development of systemic metastasis in multiple epithelial derived tumors.
