Immunovia Honored World Pancreatic Cancer Day by a Grand Opening Celebration of the US Subsidiary Immunovia, Inc.

LUND, Sweden, Nov. 23, 2021

World Pancreatic Cancer Day occurs on the third Thursday in November each year for people around the globe to work to raise awareness of the risk factors, signs, and symptoms of pancreatic cancer - one of the deadliest cancer types. This year Immunovia celebrated World Pancreatic Cancer Day by a grand opening of Immunovia, Inc., that recently launched and exclusively offers the first available blood test for early detection of pancreatic cancer in the US. Nearly 150 people attended the event, including health care professionals, patient representatives, and local politicians.

State Senator Jamie Eldridge (D-Acton) started the evening providing an official citation from the State Senate of Massachusetts to Immunovia, Inc. in recognition of the "momentous occasion of your grand opening", and by highlighting how important it is to have an early detection test for pancreatic cancer available. The Mayor of Marlborough, Mayor Arthur

Vigeant, cut the ribbon for the new laboratory.

Representatives from various patient organizations, including DetecTogether, FORCE, The Lustgarten Foundation, The National Pancreas Foundation, the UMASS Pancreatic Cancer Alliance, and PanCAN Boston all spoke briefly about their organizations.

As part of this celebration, Immunovia, Inc. offered discounted test pricing to individuals who took the opportunity to take the blood test on the premises. An independent primary care physician was also onsite to counsel patients about their risk for developing pancreatic cancer and how to manage that risk.

As Geoffrey M. Burns M.D., Fellow of the American Academy of Family Physicians, one of the physicians attending the event, stated "The vibe of the evening reminded me of my humanitarian missions where despite trauma there are both lots of feelings of hope present and strong collaborative efforts of everyone pulling together to help."
