Metastasis is the major cause of cancer mortality
It happens in some cancers but not in others
A protein called VASP controls the balance
VASP ON
VASP OFF
Metastasis
No Metastasis

Our test, VASPfore, measures VASP function and determines a person's risk of developing metastasis

VASPfore Test Report
Unlike other tests, VASPfore, measures a direct cellular mechanism driving metastasis
Bottom line: VASPfore identifies whose cancer is likely to return and who needs chemotherapy
Early clinical testing indicates people with colon cancer identified by VASPfore as high-risk are significantly more likely to experience a relapse
