Onko-Sure™ is a simple, non-invasive, patent-pending and regulatory-approved in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test used for the detection, screening, and monitoring of various types of cancer. The test enables physicians and healthcare professionals to effectively monitor and/or detect certain types of cancers by measuring the accumulation of Fibrin and Fibrinogen Degradation Products (FDP) in the blood. FDP levels rise dramatically with the progression of cancer. Onko-Sure™ is approved by the US FDA for the monitoring of colorectal cancer and by Health Canada as a lung cancer detection and monitoring test.
