Jack Stewart, Chairman and Chief Scientific Officer of Soricimed Biopharma Inc., announced proof-of-concept study results at the annual cancer research workshop put on by The Beatrice Hunter Cancer Research Institute and the Terry Fox Foundation, yesterday, May 27th in Moncton New Brunswick. The study demonstrated that treating breast cancer with Soricimed's peptide-chemotherapy drug conjugate was significantly more effective at inhibiting breast cancer cell growth than the chemotherapy drug alone or a mixture of drug plus peptide. Also, Stewart showcased a set of analytical tools Soricimed has developed to detect early stage ovarian cancer in tumour biopsies.
