September 22nd marked #WorldCMLDay, a day to raise awareness of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, the disease that was the incentive behind Andaman7. In 2007, our founder and CEO, Vincent Keunen, was diagnosed with CML and 3 months later, his son, Pierre, was diagnosed with bone cancer. While, thanks to developments in medicine, Vincent’s cancer was easy to cure with one pill a day for the rest of his life, Pierre’s was a different story - 2 years of treatment which ended with him losing his leg. Although both men are now well, their treatment journey couldn’t have been more different. This was the catalyst for Vincent to create Andaman7, a social project by patients for patients that enables users to own their health data. And, only when patients explicitly consent, this data can be shared with researchers to help the pharma industry deliver faster, more cost-effective clinical trials for new and improved treatments.

🙂 *The good news*: patients receiving a diagnosis of non-dysplastic Barrett's esophagus (NDBE) have a population-based risk of progression to high-grade dysplasia or cancer of 0.6% per year. (Keep reading ↓↓) 😧 *The bad news*: There are a LOT of NDBE patients out there, and when you multiply a small risk times a large population it means hundreds of these patients are going to progress. 😁 *The better news*: An independent publication confirms that NDBE patients who receive a #TissueCypher high-risk score are 18x more likely* to progress to high-grade dysplasia or cancer, enabling upstaging of care BEFORE cancer forms.
