Frequently Asked Questions
-
PinkDx is a diagnostics company focused on gynecologic cancer. The company is developing less invasive, evidence-based diagnostics designed to address important clinical questions, starting with endometrial cancer.
-
PinkDx’s first indication is endometrial cancer, the fastest-growing gynecologic cancer and one of the few cancers with rising mortality. Black women are about twice as likely as White women to die from the disease.
-
PinkDx recently published peer-reviewed evidence in the International Journal of Gynecological Oncology demonstrating that molecular signals associated with endometrial cancer can be detected from a simple vaginal swab.
-
Abnormal or postmenopausal bleeding is a common reason women are evaluated for endometrial cancer. About 1.3 million women present with AUB/PMB each year in the U.S.; more than 90% of women with endometrial cancer present with bleeding, yet only about 5% of women evaluated for bleeding will ultimately be diagnosed with endometrial cancer.
-
PinkDx always starts with unmet clinical needs. The team builds real-world clinical cohorts, applies whole-transcriptome sequencing and machine learning, and continuously creates a highly curated gynecologic cancer data foundation to support product development and clinical insights.
