AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aspira Women’s Health Inc. (“Aspira”), a bio-analytical based women’s health company focused on gynecologic disease, today announced that it will host a key opinion leader (KOL) webinar on women’s health and ovarian cancer risk assessments utilizing multivariant index assays on Wednesday, August 24, 2022 at 12:00pm Eastern Time.
This event will be hosted by Aspira Women’s Health executives Nicole Sandford, CEO, Dr. Ryan Phan, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer/Chief Operating Officer, and Dr. Charles Dunton, MD, Chief Medical Officer and will feature presentations from KOLs Nicole E. Williams, MD, FACOG, FACS, Founder and CEO of The Gynecology Institute of Chicago, and Gerard P. Reilly, MD, Director of Clinical Research and Innovation, Axia Women's Health.
Dr. Williams will discuss how Aspira’s OVA1Plus® test leads to improved health outcomes for women with adnexal masses by helping physicians to stratify patients planned for surgery based on their risk of ovarian cancer. OVA1Plus is a combination of two FDA-cleared multivariate index assays that combines the results of biomarkers and proprietary algorithms to provide a malignancy risk index to physicians.
Dr. Reilly was a co-author of a recently published paper, Analytical Validation of a Deep Neural Network Algorithm for the Detection of Ovarian Cancer. He will discuss how Aspira’s soon-to-be-launched OVAWatchTM multivariate index assay diagnostic risk assessment may benefit women with pelvic masses who are not planned for surgery.
A live question and answer session will follow the prepared presentations. To register for the event, please click .
