MHTX’s Unparalleled Cancer Measurement Technology Featured in MD Anderson Presentation
Results Released by MD Anderson Cancer Center at World Molecular Imaging Conference in Seoul, Korea
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.--Senior Scientific LLC, a subsidiary of Manhattan Scientifics, Inc. (OTCQB: MHTX), is currently collaborating with The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC) to advance, demonstrate and validate a cancer detection and measurement technology originally developed by Edward R. Flynn, PhD. John D. Hazle, PhD of the MD Anderson Cancer Center recently presented initial results from the collaboration in a poster at the World Molecular Imaging Conference in Seoul, South Korea. The link to the results can be found here -http://www.mhtx.com/wmic/2014-poster.pdf.
The poster concluded that Senior Scientific’s MRX technology “is unparalleled in terms of sensitivity compared to imaging-based ovarian cancer detection methods, such as TVU; thus, it holds promise for detecting ovarian cancer much earlier.”
The poster describes the MRX technology as “(based on unpublished data) it is up to 200 times more sensitive than current imaging technologies.”
The poster also noted that, “Because the technology relies on (NPs) binding to specific cancer cells and is detecting molecular markers, only cancer will presumably be detected with this technology while unbound particles in the vascular space will not be detected. Another advantage of nanomagnetic relaxometry compared to some imaging-based technologies is that it does not expose patients to potentially harmful ionizing radiation and, because this technology is considered to be safe for human use, we expect that human studies could begin within the next five years. Thus, nanomagnetic relaxometry holds promise for detecting ovarian cancer much earlier, which is crucial to increasing survivorship.” The Company hopes to accelerate its FDA submissions.
About Manhattan ScientificsManhattan Scientifics Inc. is located in New Mexico, New York and Montreal, is focused on the commercialization of disruptive technologies in the nano-medicine space. It has achieved several critical milestones in the development of its proprietary technology for the very early detection of cancer. The company is also at work with its licensed NYSE "partner" to commercialize medical prosthetics applications for its patented ultra-fine-grain nanotechnology metals.
