Auria - Meeting a Care Gap in Breast Cancer Screening Through Biological Testing
October 11th, 2023 | Wellness, Cancer
Dr. Anna Daily
This webinar will discuss Auria, Namida Lab’s biological breast cancer screening test. Available for women ages 30 and over, Auria quantifies two protein biomarkers together with age, to produce an Auria score. The score provides biological information regarding potentially clinically relevant activity in the breast tissue at the time of testing. Topics will include the research and development process of Auria as well as an understanding of how the test fits within the current breast health continuum of care.
