“The study reveals that women who experience early menopause (before age 40) have an increased risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer," she says. "These women face double the risk for breast cancer and nearly four times the risk for ovarian cancer compared to those who undergo menopause at a typical age. “Given these findings, for those women who undergo early menopause and those having fertility issues due to early menopause or low egg numbers, need to have regular cancer screenings, especially if there is a family history of cancer."

This is crucial for our test's market introduction and ensuring insurance covers its cost. Our GlycoLocate™ platform will be the first of its kind to use tumor marker gangliosides as biomarkers to diagnose early-stage cancers by using a non-invasive blood test. Join us in this important mission and help us reach our goal of $5,000! Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/dKGBVFSs

"Early detection improves treatment outcomes for endometrial and ovarian cancers, yet far too often women are diagnosed in advanced stages of these diseases. Unlike many other cancers, there are no standard screenings for early detection of endometrial and ovarian cancers. The incidence rate for endometrial cancer is expected to rise, driven by environmental factors, obesity and diabetes."

We are so proud to be featured as a change maker in the Springboard Enterprises x Accenture "State of Women's Health" report! https://lnkd.in/eKA5cUPg, It is such an honor to be recognized for our work with ovarian cancer, women's health, and more. The "State of Women’s Health" report dives into the current state of women’s health, highlighting key areas where innovation and funding is urgently needed. Traditionally, this field has faced challenges such as limited funding, inadequate research, and pervasive misconceptions. A considerable gap in public awareness and response persists. This report aims to close this gap by increasing awareness, motivating action, and promoting advancements in funding, research, and innovation. Join us in amplifying this report and driving continued change! 👏

It’s #EqualResearchDay! 💥 Evvy created #EqualResearchDay on June 10 because women weren’t required in U.S. clinical research until June 10th, 1993 (Think Equal Pay Day but for the gender health gap!) To this day, there are countless holes ⚫ in our scientific and medical understanding of the female body — and that directly impacts us as patients. If you’ve ever experienced delays in diagnoses, failed treatments, mystery symptoms with no answers, or medical gaslighting — #EqualResearchDay is for you. This year, we brought together 46 innovative companies and compiled 100 Effed Facts about the Gender Health Gap across 12 health areas: ⚫ Autoimmune Disease ⚫ Brain + Mental Health ⚫ Cancer ⚫ Endometriosis ⚫ Fertility ⚫ Heart Health ⚫ Hormonal Health ⚫ Maternal Health ⚫ Medical Gaslighting ⚫ Menopause ⚫ Menstrual & Sexual Health ⚫ Vaginal & Urinary Health Earlier this week, we launched a limited-edition coffee table book featuring all 100 Effed Facts to benefit Women's Health Access Matters (you can order a copy at EqualResearchDay.com before they sell out... !) But we decided these facts are too important not to share widely — so we are posting a public version here on LinkedIn. 𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗖𝗔𝗡 𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗣:  💥 Share this post (and add your story about why equal research matters to you)!  💥 Learn more and shop the limited edition coffee table book to benefit WHAM at EqualResearchDay.com The female body shouldn’t be a medical mystery — together, let’s close the gender health gap for good. #equalresearchday2024 #evvy #genderhealthgap #closethegenderhealthgap ——— 2024 Equal Research Day Collaborative: Evvy Aavia adyn Allara AOA Dx Bloomer Tech Caraway Clue Cofertility Conceive Diem DotLab Doveras Elektra Health Elix Frame Gabbi Gaia Gameto Health In Her HUE HerMD Hey Jane The Honey Pot Company Iron Health Julie Products Inc.
