cancer-free future with cancer risk detection ahead of symptoms

simple • non-invasive • high accuracy

Cancer cells can be difficult to detect, especially in the early stages.

This is because:

Small in Size

Conventional imaging techniques may not be able to identify cancer cells in the early stages due to its small size.

Lack of Symptoms

In some cases, early stages of cancer may not exhibit noticeable symptoms, leading to delayed diagnosis.

Similarity to Normal Cells

In the early stages, cancer cells resembles closely to healthy cells, making it challenging to identify.

Limitations of Screening Tests

Some cancers lack reliable and sensitive screening tests, further hindering early detection.

Location

Depending on the location of the tumor, gaining access to assess the cancer cells without invasive procedures is challenging.

Heterogeneity

Tumors can contain a mix of cancer cells with various genetic mutations, making it extremely complex to target.

Introducing a breakthrough "biological" Cancer Risk Assessment Test - N-NOSE®

What is N-Nose®?

N-NOSE® is a potent diagnostic tool that detects the risk of cancer, even at stage 1 or earlier with sensitivity of 86.3%. This allows individuals to take proactive measures at a much earlier stage at a much lower risk.

How does N-Nose® work?

Bodily fluids of cancer patients smell different to those of healthy individuals. With just a drop of urine, N-Nose® test screens the risk for 15 types of cancer using the highly sensitive smelling abilities of nematodes (C. elegans) – a type of microscopic roundworm.

Nematodes (C. elegans) possess approximately 1,200 olfactory receptor genes, surpassing dogs, enabling them to detect minute odors undetectable by machines.

Testimonials

N-NOSE gives me peace of mind that it covers areas that cannot be checked by a physical exam. I think my husband and children would be worried and troubled if I got cancer, so I want to have regular checkups for the sake of my family.

I want to detect the risk of cancer early for my family.Keiko, 43, Female

I was attracted by the fact that the test can be done easily by simply sending urine, so I did not hesitate to take the test. I was able to check my current cancer risk level, and it gave me a chance to think about my health. As my children are growing up, I would like to take the test as a couple from now on.

To watch over your child's growth, take care of my own health first.Tsuyoshi, 46, Male

N-NOSE is inexpensive, and you can get a cancer risk test for a very low price compared to going to the hospital. Since we have school fees for our children and we do not want one of us to get sick, we decided to take the test together as a couple. We want to take the test regularly so that we can raise our children well.

Couples take the test to raise their children.Mayumi, 42, Female

Six months ago, my first child was born. Seeing my child growing up, I felt strongly that I had to stay healthy until she grew up. N-NOSE is a perfect test for mothers with a newborn child because it is easy to perform at home while taking care of the child.

The birth of my child.Saki, 32, Female

I recently heard that a friend of mine had ovarian cancer, which has increased my awareness of cancer prevention. I have an image that regular tests are time-consuming, but the N-NOSE test requires only urine collection at home, so it is easy to do even while taking care of my children. I have heard that women are prone to cancer from a young age, so I want to take early test to prevent it.

Women's cancer can be tricky.Yuko, 35, Female

I took the N-NOSE test because I wanted to review my insurance after the birth of my child. The result was unexpectedly high risk. If I had not taken the test and the cancer had progressed, I might not have been able to see my child grow up. I am so glad that we took the test early on to check the risk.

I'm glad I found out sooner for the future.Misaki, 34, Female

As an independent self-employed person, I take care of my health. I have not been able to go to a physical exam because it takes a lot of time and costs a lot of money, so I found N-NOSE beneficial in that it only takes a urine sample and does not take much time.

I'm trying to perform at my best at work.Makoto, 33, Male

I work during the week and on my days off I devote myself to my hobbies such as golf and fishing. I want to spend the money I work for on the things I love as much as possible...! However, my consciousness changed when my father died of lung cancer last year. I want to build my career from now on, and I also want to master my hobbies more. That's why I decided to take the N-NOSE test. I would like to continue to take the test regularly.

I want to enjoy both my work and my hobbies to the fullest.Hiroshi, 37, Male

I did this with a light heart, but when I looked at the results, I was determined to be high risk. I underwent a full examination and found that I also had early-stage cancer. Since it was found at an early stage, I had many treatment options and chose a method that could treat the cancer in a short period of time. Now, my cancer is in remission and I am working hard.

Thanks to early detection, I was able to return to work immediately!Tetsuya, 35, Male

I learned about N-NOSE from a TV commercial and immediately bought it because it was at a price I could afford. It was very helpful because it was a small financial burden. I am glad I took the test at this time because I am getting to an age where I am more likely to get cancer.

More and more people around me were getting cancer... I decided to take the test as my first screening test.Isamu, 67, Male

I have had more and more opportunities to talk with my wife about our health over the past few years. Both of our children are in college. Since we have a relative who died of cancer, we decided to check our risk once and took the test as a couple. We would like to continue to take the test as a couple and enjoy our second life together.

Early Detection of Cancer Sees a Future of Longer LifeMasaru, 65, Male

I had become more attentive to the changes in my body and started to pay more attention to my diet and sleep. At that time, my son recommended that I take the test. It is said that cancer can be cured at a high rate if it is detected early. Since I am now at an age where I am more likely to get cancer, I would like to have regular checkups as an early prevention measure.

My son recommended that I should take N-NOSE.Takashi, 62, Male

Q3: What are the precautionary steps when getting the N-Nose test?

N-NOSE® is a highly sensitive test, similar to other screening tests. Please avoid taking the test if you are not feeling well, extremely tired, not well-rested, pregnant, or having menstruation. For better results, please reschedule your urine collection for another day.

Q4: I was evaluated as high risk (D-E) and underwent a thorough examination, which revealed no abnormalities. What should I do next?

N-NOSE® detects early-stage cancer risks that other tests or screenings may not pick up. Therefore, it is recommended that you repeat the test every 6 months, along with annual comprehensive health screening, to detect the type, location, and progression of any potential cancer as early as possible.

Q5: If I take N-NOSE®, do I need to take other cancer tests?

N-NOSE® is a primary screening test for the risk of 15 types of cancer. We recommend that you take N-NOSE® regularly, along with annual comprehensive health screening, especially if you have a family history of cancers or experience any worrisome symptoms on a long-term basis.

Q6. Why do I need different tests for cancer screening?

The accuracy of cancer screening tests can be influenced by factors such as the stage of the cancer, the presence of other health conditions, and the test method used. Blood cancer screening tests are not 100% accurate and cannot be used as standalone diagnostic tools. They are used in conjunction with other diagnostic methods and clinical assessments. The results are reviewed by experienced health screening doctors to arrive at a comprehensive diagnosis.

Q7. Should I be relaxed if my risk is at A-C?

Congratulations on maintaining good health! Remember, health maintenance is a marathon, and it's important to keep up with healthy lifestyle and dietary habits. While your risk may currently be at A-C, it's essential to stay proactive about your well-being. Performing regular health checks will help you monitor your health and ensure early detection of any potential issues.

Q8. Is there a minimum age for this test?

Currently, clinical research on young adults under the age of 16 is ongoing. As a result, clinical data for test efficacy in this age group is not yet available. Therefore, the test is not recommended for individuals below the age of 16 at this time.
