According to PeriRx CEO and founder Stephen M. Swanick, “During this event, we will fully-explain the science behind SaliMark OSCC, the most clinically advanced molecular DNA biomarker test for oral squamous cell carcinoma detection. Attendees will also learn how to integrate this test into their day-today work flow. In addition, three continuing education credits will be given at the end of the course.”

About SaliMark™ OSCC
Development of this simple-to-use, painless, and noninvasive test was based on the strong scientific foundation of NIH-funded research with initial discovery and prevalidation work conducted by Dr. David Wong of the University of California at Los Angeles. The SaliMark OSCC test also has the distinction of being the first of its kind assay in the world to aid in the identification and early detection of oral lesions at the highest risk for cancer. Recently, the Salimark OSCC test underwent a PRoBE (prospective-specimen-collection, retrospective-blinded-evaluation) design study which is the most rigorous biomarker validation available. In addition, PeriRx successfully completed a validation of the mRNA markers at the University of Michigan, Michigan State University and the St. Johns Providence Health System in Detroit.
