Trucheck Intelli™ Multi-Cancer Screening at Northway Clinic
Early detection is the most effective way to manage cancer, as localised tumours are often more responsive to treatment and have higher survival rates. Northway Clinic, in partnership with the not-for-profit Cancer Screening Trust, provides access to Trucheck Intelli™—a revolutionary multi-cancer early detection blood test.
Why Choose Trucheck Intelli™?
Traditional screening often only identifies cancer after symptoms appear or once a tumour has already spread. Trucheck Intelli™ is a non-invasive blood test designed to detect cancer early, often before any symptoms arise.
- Comprehensive Detection: Screens for over 70 different types of solid organ cancers, including breast, lung, bowel, and prostate.
- High Accuracy: Offers 88.2% sensitivity across all cancer stages and 96.3% specificity in asymptomatic individuals.
- Organ Identification: In positive cases, the test has a 93.1% accuracy rate in determining the likely tissue or organ of origin.
- Simple Process: A quick and easy blood test that provides peace of mind.
How the Technology Works
The test identifies Circulating Tumour Cells (CTCs) and CTC clusters that are shed into the bloodstream by malignant tumours. These cells are typically absent in healthy individuals. By analysing these cells for a molecular imprint, Trucheck can pinpoint the specific organ where the cancer may be developing.
