NEXT LEVEL EARLY DETECTION CANCER SCREENING
Timely and accurate information for early cancer detection
Early Detection Screening
Accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020, cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, with predictions that it will affect one in two of us. Yet many cancers can be cured if detected early and treated effectively. Medical science has made remarkable strides in recent years, uncovering innovative and non-invasive approaches to detect and monitor the disease.
Liquid Biopsy
USING CIRCULATING TUMOUR DNA TO SCREEN & STRATIFY
Liquid biopsies are a non-invasive and innovative method used for early cancer detection. Instead of traditional tissue biopsies that require surgery, liquid biopsies use a simple blood sample or other bodily fluids to detect tiny traces of cancer-related materials, such as cancer cells or DNA fragments, released by tumours into the bloodstream.
The Tests
An early detection liquid biopsy test is a groundbreaking screening approach that aims to detect cancer types at an early stage using a single blood test. There are currently two tests available:
ColonAIQ Liquid Biopsy Test
Early Pancreatic Cancer Test
The tests are also a valuable tool for treatment response monitoring and tailoring personalized treatment plans, customizing medical treatments and interventions based on your unique genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors and improve outcomes and quality of life.
Who is the test for?
A test is recommended to anyone aged 40 and above, who are at a higher risk of developing cancer due to factors such as family history, genetic predisposition, or exposure to carcinogens.
It is also important to emphasize that while age is a significant factor in cancer risk, cancer can occur at any age, and early detection and prevention efforts are essential throughout one’s life.
A test is available by prescription only.
It is essential to note that undergoing any medical test, including liquid biopsy, should be a personal decision made in consultation with a qualified healthcare professional. The decision should consider the individual’s medical history, family history, risk factors, and overall health profile. If someone without any indication is considering a liquid biopsy test, it is essential to have a conversation with a healthcare provider to understand the benefits, limitations, and potential implications of the test.
