Increased levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the blood may indicate the possibility of prostate cancer.

Until now, a prostate biopsy has been performed to confirm the diagnosis - it is an invasive and painful procedure that can cause complications.

Thanks to countless clinical researches, new, painless method for diagnosing prostate cancer has been created!

Diagnostic prostate cancer tests are a new generation of laboratory tests based on the detection of prostate cancer by analyzing molecular biomarkers in the patient's urine.

Industry professionals meet at a seminar on the availability of voice prostheses in Latvia!

2 Oct, 2020

In October 2020, Latvia's leading otolaryngologists and microsurgeons met for a joint seminar to discuss the availability of voice prostheses in Latvia and the opportunity to offer patients the possibility to return speech skills after laryngectomy (laryngeal resection) with voice prostheses.

Let us remind you that Latvia is still the only country in Baltic states where such manipulations are not performed and voice prostheses are not paid for by the state.

As a result of the seminar, we got confirmation that it is time to make changes in the industry, register implantation of voice prostheses as a new medical technology and promote voice prostheses as a state-paid product, similar to hearing aids.

You can find more information about voice prostheses on our website here.

If you have any questions about the progress of this process or the availability of prostheses, please contact us!
