BLOOD TESTS
TruCheck Cancer Detection Blood Test
The TruCheck blood test is the most effective & convenient diagnostic blood test available to distinguish up to 70 types of solid cancer tumours. TruCheck’s tests have been validated across cohorts of over 40,000 patients. When you detect cancer in its early stages, treatment is more effective and the chances of a positive outcome are significantly increased. It also helps prevent the spread of cancer to other parts of the body.

What happens if my results come back as ‘positive’?
If your TruCheck blood test results come back as positive, it means that cancer cells have been detected in your body. This indicates the presence of one or more types of solid cancer tumours. It is crucial to follow up with your healthcare provider immediately to discuss the next steps. Early detection significantly increases the effectiveness of treatment and improves the chances of a positive outcome. Your healthcare provider will likely recommend further diagnostic tests to confirm the type and location of the cancer and to develop a treatment plan.
What happens if my results come back as ‘negative’?
If your TruCheck blood test results are negative, it means that no cancer cells were detected at the time of the test. A negative result does not guarantee you will never develop cancer. Cancers not included in this test cannot be ruled out based on a negative result. TruCheck is unable to detect cancers of the blood or lymphatic system since only solid organ cancers release circulating tumour cells.
How frequently should I take this test?
The TruCheck blood test is recommended as part of an annual health check-up. Regular testing each year helps in the early detection of cancer, which is critical for effective treatment and preventing the spread of cancer to other parts of the body.
