Anixa Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANIX), a biotechnology company focused on using the body's immune system to fight cancer, today announced that it will present data from its ongoing studies utilizing Cchek, Anixa's artificial intelligence (AI) driven early cancer detection technology, at the 30th Anniversary AACR Special Conference – Convergence: Artificial Intelligence, Big Data and Prediction in Cancer. This AACR special conference will cover the state of research in understanding cancer from incident to early diagnosis, prevention, and treatment using big data and machine learning. The meeting will be held October 14–17, 2018 in Newport, Rhode Island and will attended by global leaders in the intersection of cancer research and artificial intelligence. To receive a copy of the presentation, please email your request to AACR-AI-2018@anixa.com starting October 17, 2018 and include your name, title, and contact information. "We are pleased to be presenting our latest data on Cchek at this special Artificial Intelligence conference. This poster will discuss prostate cancer detection, which we have previously announced is our first commercial focus. The data will discuss Cchek's ability to distinguish between tumor bearing and healthy individuals as well as between tumor bearing and those with benign prostate conditions, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It is well known that the majority of men (upwards of 85-90%) who get prostate biopsies do not have cancer. The current screening technique, which measures circulating levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA), causes many men to undergo unnecessary biopsies due to its poor accuracy. Our recent Cchek data demonstrates that many of these unneeded biopsies may be avoided. More details of the ongoing study will be available after the presentation," stated Dr. Amit Kumar, President and CEO of Anixa.
