About ColoAlert®
ColoAlert from Mainz Biomed is transforming the early detection of colorectal cancer (CRC) with its non-invasive and high accuracy stool test. Utilizing PCR-technology, this product has been proven to have superior performance compared to traditional fecal occult blood tests (FOBT).
Currently, ColoAlert is available in select EU countries through independent laboratories, corporate health programs, and direct sales and is undergoing FDA evaluation in the US in the ‘ReconAAsense’ clinical trial. Once approved, Mainz Biomed plans to roll out this innovative product through a scalable distribution network with laboratory service providers across the nation.
About Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers in the world – with over 1.9 million cases being reported in 2020 according to the World Cancer Research Fund International – making it the third most common cancer globally. To prevent its spread, the US Preventive Services Task Force recommends stool DNA tests such as ColoAlert be conducted every three years starting at age 45.
Despite this recommendation, nearly one-third of US residents aged 50-75 have never been screened for colon cancer – representing an untapped market worth an estimated $4.0 billion in the US alone. Evidently, there is a high potential to increase cancer prevention awareness and patient adherence in this population.
