With the availability of OVA1, physicians in Israel and the Palestinian territories can direct patients to the most appropriate surgeon, promoting more favorable treatment outcomes," said Gail S. Page, President and CEO of Vermillion, Inc.
Page continued, "This further supports our expansion efforts as we continue to develop our international strategy in concert with the efforts already underway in the US."
"We are pleased by the confidence granted to us by Vermillion for the exclusive distribution of OVA1 in Israel and the Palestinian territories. This relationship will enable Pronto Diagnostics to enlarge its offering of very innovative products in the field of oncology diagnostics," said Nir Navot, PhD, CEO of Pronto Diagnostics.
