Background
1 in 7 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. Finding breast cancer
early, when it is still localised, and has not spread, can significantly improve your chances of survival. If detected early, most women, around 98%,
will survive their cancer for five years or more
after diagnosis.
Why Trucheck?
Trucheck is a simple revolutionary blood test which can help you find cancer early, before you show symptoms. As Trucheck is a simple blood test, you can assess your cancer health risks regularly.
When cancer is present in someone, it sheds tiny cells and tumour fragments into the bloodstream, called circulating tumour cells (CTCs). These cells are the main reason cancer eventually spreads in the body, especially if they move in clusters (a group). Trucheck can detect them from your blood sample and indicate the likely organ of origin. Tumour Healthcare professionals can then carry out targeted follow up investigations and treat patients if necessary.
