Ilico Genetics

ilico genetics, a spin off of pontificia universidad católica de chile, is developing the first methylated dna based molecular test specifically designed for the early detection of gastric cancer, even years before esophagogastroduodenoscopy (egd, gold standard). with only a blood sample, and even without symptoms, it detects a tumor in the stomach or lesions that could evolve to gastric cancer. the results are dynamic and show the cumulative presence of tumors over time.
