A low-cost, paper-based diagnostic method for chronic myeloid leukemia – The Max foundation
The Max foundation shared a post on LinkedIn:
“World Cancer Day unites us in addressing the urgent need for every person experiencing cancer to receive treatment no matter where they live. One of the biggest barriers is receiving an accurate diagnosis.
Through a collaboration with our partners at Fred Hutch Cancer Center, we work with Dr. Jerry Radich and his team who developed a low-cost, paper-based diagnostic method for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). This innovative approach allows physicians to spot a patient’s blood onto a test card and mail it to Dr. Radich’s lab for accurate testing.
Last year, we provided diagnostic results to 210 people through the Spot on CML program across 9 countries. Once diagnosed, patients are connected to life-extending treatments free of charge.
Join us in celebrating the power of unity to overcome cancer through researchers like Dr. Radich in Seattle, medical providers like Sister Bimala in Nepal, and patients like Nancy in the Philippines who are willing to pioneer innovative approaches.”
