EpiMedTech Global Validates Unique epiCervix HPV Combo Test for Cervical Cancer Detection

EpiMedTech Global official press release logo with 'Harnessing the epigenome' tagline, highlighting biotechnology innovation
Singapore, November 18 2024 — EpiMedTech Global Singapore is thrilled to announce the successful validation of our groundbreaking Epicervix HPV combo test, now certified for CLIA and CAP. This innovative test utilizes next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, setting a new standard for cervical cancer detection and health monitoring.

The epiCervix test integrates HPV testing with advanced DNA methylation-based cancer detection, providing a comprehensive assessment of cervical health. It detects the presence of cancer DNA in cervical samples, delivering a highly accurate quantification of methylated and unmethylated copies across four key genes. These genes are typically methylated in cervical cancer and remain unmethylated in non-cancerous samples.

Traditionally, Pap smears have focused on identifying abnormal cells within the cervix. However, our test enhances sensitivity through the molecular detection of cancer DNA, successfully identifying cancer DNA in early premalignant lesions.

We are proud to advance our capabilities by incorporating next-generation sequencing-based human papillomavirus (HPV) testing in cervical biopsies. The advantage of our HPV assay over conventional PCR-based tests lies in its ability to provide specific information on HPV strains.

The epiCervix cancer detection test has been rigorously validated in studies conducted at the Department of Oncology at McGill University, with results published in the International Journal of Cancer.
