In recent years, scientific breakthroughs have pushed the boundaries of early cancer detection. Notably, new blood tests are making their way into the realm of clinical practice, promising to revolutionise the way we approach this formidable disease.
The NHS has already begun trialling these tests with successful early results. Now, NADclinic offers its own blood test, TruCheck, which stands out due to its unique characteristics and benefits.
What is TruCheck?
TruCheck is a game-changing blood test that can identify up to 70 different kinds of cancer at an early stage, often before any symptoms appear.
By spotting cancer early, TruCheck allows you to respond quickly and greatly increases your odds of beating this tough disease. At NADclinic we can embrace the power of early detection and fight cancer with confidence.
How Does Early Cancer Screening Work?
TruCheck harnesses cutting-edge technology to analyse the existence of circulating tumour cells in the bloodstream. These cells, released by malignant tumours, are instrumental in the cancer’s eventual spread throughout the body.
Pioneering research involving a colossal group of over 40,000 participants confirms circulating tumour cells as the foremost markers of cancer. Given their consistent detection in the blood of patients with solid organ cancers, TruCheck serves as a crucial and accurate diagnostic instrument.
Can Anybody Get the TruCheck Blood Test?
Though highly effective, TruCheck is only available through prescription. This emphasises the need for a comprehensive discussion with a doctor before taking the test. One of our UK-based doctors will lead an over-the-phone consultation before taking the test. This will cover your health history and the pros and cons of the screening.
If you’re not showing any clear signs of cancer but want to know more about your current cancer status, TruCheck could be a good option. Factors such as your age, family health history, job, and lifestyle could increase your risk. TruCheck may be worth considering if this is the case.
However, if you’ve already been diagnosed with cancer or are showing any signs or symptoms, TruCheck is not the advised course of action. In those cases, we strongly recommend seeking medical help and professional advice right away. If our doctor decides for any reason that you’re not a good fit for the test, you’ll be entitled to your money back.
Which Cancers Does the Test Check For?
TruCheck is skilled at identifying a wide range of solid organ cancers, which specifically refer to cancers impacting various organs rather than those affecting the blood. The cancers that our test can detect include:
- Melanoma
- Head & Neck
- Salivary Gland
- Thyroid
- Lung
- Breast
- Liver
- Biliary Tract
- Gastrointestinal
- Soft Tissue
- Osteosarcomas
- Mesothelioma
- Urinary Tract
- Gynaecological
- Prostate
- Thymus
- Adrenal
- Central Nervous System cancers
Not to mention even more. This test is a groundbreaking scientific discovery that will transform cancer detection forever.
What if my Results Come Back Positive?
A positive result indicates that circulating tumour cells (CTCs) are present in your blood. If this is the case, a committed member of our clinical team will reach out to you. They’ll explain your results in detail, what they mean, and guide you on what steps to take next. This could include seeing a specialist. Don’t worry, we have a clear patient journey specifically set up to help those who get a positive result.
Does a Negative Result Mean I am Cancer Free?
A negative result means that the test didn’t find any detectable cancer cells in your blood for the specific types of cancer it checks for. However, keep in mind that a negative result doesn’t mean you won’t develop cancer in the future. For any type of cancer that the test doesn’t cover, it’s important not to just assume you’re clear based just on a negative result.
How Frequently Should I Take the Test?
We strongly advise taking this test on a yearly basis, especially after receiving a negative result. This yearly screening, as part of a wider annual health check-up routine, can be a proactive step towards maintaining your health. Taking this test annually helps you stay informed about any changes in your health. Timely interventions can be made if problems are detected, contributing to your overall well-being and longevity.
