The MAF Test®, developed by the IRB Barcelona and ICREA spin-off Inbiomotion, is now available to oncology and pathology professionals in South Korea and is estimated to benefit around 34,000 new patients each year.

This is the first time a product resulting from research at IRB Barcelona has reached patients in South Korea.

This pioneering test helps oncology professionals predict recurrence and survival rates in breast cancer patients, as well as their potential eligibility to receive treatment with bisphosphonates.
