Multi-Cancer Early Detection Test with Doctor Consultation

RM1,800.00

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.

A Comprehensive and Accurate Cancer Screening

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:

Comprehensive: Detects multiple cancers from a single MCED blood test, covering a wide range of cancers beyond those with standard cancer screenings.
Accurate: Pinpoints the likely tissue of origin for a detected cancer signal, helping your doctor narrow down next steps.
Easy & Fast: A simple blood draw with results ready in just 14 working days.

Type Of Cancer Covered

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.

Note on Tumour Markers

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.

Who Should Consider this Test?

This proactive cancer health screening is recommended for individuals who are at an elevated risk of cancer and want to take a more informed approach to their health. This includes those who:

Have a personal or family history of cancer.
Lead an unhealthy lifestyle (e.g., smoking, excessive alcohol, poor sleep, or lack of exercise).
Experience unexplained symptoms like weight loss or loss of appetite.
Are seeking an advanced cancer check-up for peace of mind through early detection.

Important Considerations

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:

Those undergoing active cancer treatment.
Individuals who have had major cancer surgery within the last 1 to 3 months.
Those who have received a blood transfusion within the last 3 to 6 months.
Women who are currently pregnant.

What is Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED ctDNA) Test?

All cells in the body contain DNA. As part of their natural life cycle, cells shed fragments of DNA into the bloodstream.

ctDNA (Circulating Tumour DNA): A specific type of cell-free DNA released by tumour cells. Unlike cfDNA, ctDNA isreleased actively and carries distinct features linked to cancer.

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.

How the Test Works

A 10mL blood sample will be collected.
The test identifies mutations in circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) that are specific to certain types of cancer. By analysing these mutation patterns, the test can help predict the likely origin of the cancer in the body.
Results will be available within 14 working days.
A consultation with a doctor will be provided to review and explain your results.

Understanding the Results

Negative (No ctDNA Detected):
No ctDNA associated to the cancer cells was found in your blood at the time of testing.
Note: This result reflects your condition only at the time of sample collection and does not guarantee you are cancer-free in the future. Continue with your routine health screenings and consult your doctor if any symptoms arise.
Positive (ctDNA Detected):
Cancer-related ctDNA was detected in your blood.
The report may suggest potential locations in the body where cancer might be developing.
This is a screening tool—not a diagnosis. Your doctor may recommend further imaging and referral to a specialist for confirmation.

Limitations

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:
- A false negative may occur if the tumour is very small or not shedding enough ctDNA at the time of testing.
- A false positive may occur due to other non-cancer-related DNA alterations in the blood.
If follow-up diagnostic tests do not confirm cancer, this could mean either:
- There is no cancer present, or
- The cancer is present but was not detected due to current limitations in test sensitivity.
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.
