"We continue to work to significantly increase revenues, subject to adequate funding for marketing efforts, with outreach to healthcare professionals and negotiations for additional distribution agreements in key international markets.  Our Onko-Sure® IVD cancer diagnostic test kit, a simple, non-invasive blood test, has shown internationally to be effective in monitoring and detecting solid cancer tumors by measuring a specific breakdown product in the blood.  Nineteen different types of cancer have been identified with the test," said Douglas MacLellan, Chairman and CEO.
