Partnership Addresses Critical Healthcare Need
Lung cancer represents a leading cause of cancer-related mortality in Tunisia, creating an urgent need for innovative, accessible, and accurate early detection solutions.

Proof-of-Concept Trial to Validate Clinical Utility
The collaboration will commence with a proof-of-concept trial. The trial, scheduled to begin in October 2025, will evaluate the performance, accuracy, and clinical utility of BioMark's proprietary liquid biopsy platform within the Tunisian healthcare system.

Key objectives of the partnership include:

• Assessing the technology's effectiveness in the target population
