Chundsell Medicals AB was founded in 2007 based on the need for a more specific system, the Prostatype test system, to diagnose prostate cancer and to predict the survival prognosis for patients. The test also distinguishes between the aggressive and non-aggressive tumors.

The business idea is to market and sell to the global market a complete diagnostic system consisting of reagents, an instrument platform and evaluation software. We strive to develop and produce frontline product solutions designed for optimal user compliance as well as fulfillment of the highest quality demands. Our product system will meet an urgent medical need and will have a positive impact on the overall health economy as well as preserve the quality of life for thousands of men each year.

The patent pending Prostatype test is based on real- time-quantitative-PCR (qPCR) where we analyze the expression of a set of genes in cancer stem cells. The expression of these genes can with high statistical significance identify patients with aggressive tumors (20%) from the ones with non-aggressive tumors (80%). The results are based on a clinical endpoint study where patients have been followed-up on for more than 20 years. The results have shown that the gene signatures can classify different tumor types, indicate overall and cancer specific survival and serve as a guide to the urologist to choose therapy like prostate surgery, radiation, hormone treatment or watchful waiting.
