Is OncuraKit equally applicable to both men and women?
Yes — OncuraKit is designed for both men and women. The three cancer biomarkers and the HL normalization standard were validated in both sexes. The six cancer types screened include cancers that affect men (prostate), women (ovarian, breast), and both sexes (colorectal, pancreatic, lung). The Yenos finding that HL normalization eliminates sex-based variation in miRNA baseline means that a single HL threshold applies to both sexes without sex-specific reference ranges. Men cannot develop ovarian or breast cancer, but the test will still screen for the remaining four cancer types for male patients. Women will receive screening information for all six types including ovarian and breast cancer.
