Cancer Early Detection

Cancer is a major global health challenge and a leading cause of death worldwide. According to the latest data from the World Health Organization (WHO), there are approximately 20 million new cancer cases and 9.7 million cancer deaths each year. The cancer burden is projected to increase by around 77% by 2050¹.

Early detection and prevention are crucial, as the five-year survival rate for early-stage cancer is 89%, compared to only 20% for advanced-stage cancer. Notably, 59% of cancer deaths result from cancers that are not commonly screened for. Therefore, it is essential to detect cancer at an early stage using non-invasive, highly sensitive tests.

Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED)

Detect cancer signals across different types of tumors

  • Minimally invasive blood test capable of detecting early stage cancer signals before symptoms arise and predicting the tumor’s tissue of origin (TOO).
  • Employs low-depth whole genome sequencing (WGS) to pinpoint various multidimensional features, including genomic, fragmentomic, and inferred epigenomic features carried by circulating free DNA (cfDNA).
  • Highly sensitive tumor early detection technology, Mercury™.

Limit of use: The CanScan test is not designed to diagnose cancer or replace clinically validated diagnostic procedures. It is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant, have been diagnosed with cancer within the past three years, or are currently receiving active cancer treatment. Rx only

This test does not detect all types of cancer, and in some cases, cancer-related signals may not be detectable in the bloodstream. CanScan analyzes cell-free DNA (cfDNA) patterns in blood to provide insights, but it cannot confirm the presence of current cancer, predict future cancer development, or assess the risk of hereditary or transmissible cancers. It is also not intended for use in cancer monitoring or treatment evaluation.

Furthermore, the test does not evaluate the genetic risk or predisposition to cancer.
