Martin Widschwendter lectures on the use of epigenetic-based WID®-Tests, in primary and secondary cancer prevention

Topics covered are:

  • Unmet needs in cancer prevention
  • P4-medicine
  • The rationale for utilizing DNA-methylation for cancer risk prediction
  • The principle of epigenetic-based risk prediction in surrogate tissue
  • Cell type specificity (epithelial cells vs immune cells)
  • Responsiveness to risk factors (e.g., progesterone in breast cancer)
  • The rationale for cervical smear samples vs. blood or buccal swab
  • Embryological considerations
  • The WID®-Sola for the risk prediction/stratification of four women’s cancers (cervical, endometrial, ovarian and breast cancer)
  • Monitoring preventive measures (e.g., mifepristone for breast cancer)
  • WID®-easy and WID®-qCIN (aka “WID®-can”) for the early detection of endometrial cancer and preinvasive cervical cancer
  • Monitoring hormone replacement therapy using WID®-REA
  • Monitoring preventive measures for healthy aging and longevity using epigenetic signatures
  • Personalized pan-cancer prevention
