Private Cancer Gene Tests with Trucheck Intelli

Understandably, if you have a family history of cancer, you may be concerned about whether this puts you at risk. That is why we have partnered with Datar Cancer Genetics to provide 70 revolutionary cancer gene tests. Trucheck Intelli is a breakthrough cancer screening test that can provide early detection for a range of cancers from a simple blood test. From breast cancer and lung cancer to prostate cancer and melanoma, our medical professionals will analyse your blood sample and provide you with a comprehensive treatment.

We understand that cancer is a frightening prospect for many. However, even if you have not shown any symptoms yet, detecting cancer early on is crucial for successful treatment. That is why we offer cancer screenings without long wait lists so you can get the answers you need and take the steps to manage your health. We will arrange an express GP appointment to go through the pre-test information before your non-invasive blood test at our clinic in Birmingham, ensuring you get the medical attention you deserve.

What Cancers Can Trucheck Intelli Tests Detect?

This state-of-the-art test has been proven to successfully detect genes for various types of cancer, including:

• Adenocarcinoma - A specific kind of cancer that develops in the glands that line the inside of an organ, such as the colon, breasts and lungs
• Adenosquamous Carcinoma - This is a type of tumour that is characterised by glandular differentiation and mixed squamous. It can develop in the lungs and oesophagus
• Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumours - This type of tumour usually develops in the stomach, colon or rectum
• Glioma - This is a type of tumour that most commonly develops in the brain and spinal cord
• Melanomas - This results in cutaneous and mucosal venous malformations, also known as lesions, forming on the skin
• Mesothelioma - Pleural and peritoneal mesothelioma can develop on the lining of the outer surface of organs, such as the lungs, heart or testicles
• Neuroendocrine - This is a type of tumour that can develop in areas, such as the lungs, pancreas and prostate
• Renal cell carcinoma - This results in cancer cells forming in the lining of very small tubes in the kidneys
• Sarcomas - This is a group of rare cancers that affect the tissues supporting and connecting organs and body structures. The group includes carcinosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, osteosarcoma and liposarcoma
• Small cell lung cancer - This a rare type of cancer that usually affects people who have a history of smoking
• Squamous cell carcinoma - This is a type of skin cancer that can develop in a number of areas, such as the lips, oral cavity and tonsils
• Transitional Cell Carcinoma - This rare type of kidney cancer develops in the bladder and renal pelvis and ureter

Benefits Of Genetic Testing

Private cancer screenings are not as scary as they sound. Unlike conventional screening tests, our cutting-edge solutions allow for non-invasive investigations. They are also radiation-free, providing you with that all-important peace of mind. More than that, early detection can save time and minimise avoidable procedures and appointments. This ultimately saves lives and allows you to continue spending quality time with the people you love most.

Do You Want To Understand Your Cancer Risk?

If there are consecutive generations of relatives being affected by cancer, it is wise to book an appointment with one of our specialist healthcare assistants. They will go through the pre-test counselling and review your family’s medical history ahead of you having the blood test.

Accurate And Reliable Tests

Cancer gene screening is a game changer and has revolutionised the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. Trucheck has been proven to detect circulating tumour (CTC) cells and their clusters, which are present in the blood of most cancer patients. Generally, these are undetectable in seemingly healthy individuals. But thankfully, our technology can detect and characterise these cells and clusters so there is no need to worry about the reliability and accuracy of our tests.

Trucheck Vs Conventional Tests

A study compared the clinical performance of this groundbreaking technology with conventional screening tests. The tests were measured based on detection rate, the ability to correctly identify those who have cancer, and specificity, the ability to identify the number of people who do not have cancer.

For example, the Trucheck test was found to correctly identify 88.2% of women who had breast cancer in a group of participants with and without cancer. Conventional tests, on the other hand, were only able to identify 86.9%. What’s more, the likelihood that if the test was positive that the individual actually had breast cancer was 99.9% as opposed to 69.6% for the conventional test.

Please note that cancer screening blood tests can only be booked following a GP consultation at £85 to go through the pre-test counselling.
