Salivatech Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tsuruoka, Yamagata; CEO: Makoto Sunamura), provider of the saliva-based cancer risk test "SalivaChecker®," has partnered with ANA Akindo Co., Ltd. and the "ANA SHONAI BLUE Ambassador" to conduct cancer awareness and product promotion activities for ANA employees. This initiative aimed to improve health awareness among ANA Group employees, who are part of a human capital management strategy, and to verify the utility of saliva-based cancer risk testing in professional environments characterized by irregular shifts and frequent travel. The seminar focused on breast and pancreatic cancer, emphasizing the importance of early detection. Ambassador Riho Nishimura visited the inspection laboratory and experienced the collection process. Participants provided feedback such as, "I have reaffirmed the importance of early detection" and "The pain-free nature of this test is highly convenient." In response, Salivatech updated the service in April 2026, enabling room-temperature storage/transport and postal drop-off. This allows for cancer risk checks in daily life, even for those with limited access to medical institutions.
