Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) ctDNA is a blood test for cancer that helps detect signals from 21 major types of cancer at an early stage. It is a simple, non-invasive blood screening test that empowers you to take proactive steps for your health, as early detection is key to effective cancer treatments.
Our advanced MCED test is a crucial complement to your regular cancer screening routine. It is designed to provide you with peace of mind through a few key benefits:
Our test helps to detect signals from a wide range of cancers, including: Brain, Nasopharyngeal, Thyroid, Head & Neck, Lung, Breast, Liver, Gastric, Pancreas, Kidney, Colorectal, Bladder, Prostate, Ovary, Cervix, Endometrium, Lymphomas, Melanomas, Sarcoma, Leukaemia & Myeloid Neoplasm.
The MCED test is designed to find cancer-specific DNA fragments, providing a targeted approach to early cancer detection. Unlike some traditional tumor marker tests that aren’t specific to a single cancer type, this test looks for direct signals, providing an additional layer of information for your health.
This test is not a replacement for routine screenings like a pap smear or colonoscopy. It provides an additional layer of information to help you and your doctor make more informed health decisions.
The MCED test is not recommended for the following individuals:
All cells in the body contain DNA. As part of their natural life cycle, cells shed fragments of DNA into the bloodstream.
The Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED ctDNA) Test uses this principle to detect tumour-specific DNA fragments in theblood. It allows for early cancer detection in individuals without symptoms and helps monitor tumour activity in patientswith known cancers.
The Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED ctDNA) Test does not detect all types of cancer—particularly those that may not release detectable DNA into the bloodstream. Additionally, it cannot predict the risk of developing cancer in the future.
As with any screening test, results may include false positives or false negatives:
If follow-up diagnostic tests do not confirm cancer, this could mean either:
It’s also important to note that not all detected cancer-related DNA changes confirm the presence of cancer. Clinical evaluation and further diagnostic testing are necessary for accurate interpretation.
Finally, the test only screens for specific types of cancer included within its detection panel. Some genetic alterations may go undetected if they fall outside the scope of this test or due to technical limitations in analysis.
