“In Puglia — explains Dr. Roberto La Forgia — with our innovative micro-enterprise, with a group of researchers from the Department of Pharmacy-Pharmaceutical Sciences of the University of Bari, led by prof. Nunzio Denora and thanks to a regional tender, we have developed an innovative formulation for the diagnosis of prostate cancer, used in the Pet / CT of nuclear medicine. Only two other companies in the world are working on this bio marker, one in the United States and the other in Israel, just to give the dimension of the research we are carrying out on our own in Puglia.”

Prostate cancer is among the most frequent malignancies diagnosed in the world in men, only in Italy in 2019 37,000 new cases were estimated and in Puglia there was an incidence of 111 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.
