Introducing an innovative

Blood-based test for early breast cancer screening

Mastocheck

Mastocheck is a blood-based test that can be used to supplement your routine mammogram to improve chances of detecting signs of breast cancer early. It is specially designed to overcome the limitations of conventional breast cancer screening methods by achieving a high accuracy rate of 77% for detecting stage 1 breast cancer, and it is accessible to young women (20-40 years old), pregnant women, and patients with breast implants or dense breast tissue.

Asian women often exhibit denser breast tissue, which contains a higher ratio of glandular tissue to fatty tissue. In such cases, breast tumours may be difficult to detect through a routine mammogram.

Women at higher risk, such as those with a family history of breast cancer, are strongly advised to consider Mastocheck. Adding this supplementary test during mammograms can significantly improve diagnostic accuracy, demonstrating 10%-30% higher sensitivity compared to mammography alone.

Benefits of Mastocheck

Non-invasive & Painless

Convenient

Radiation-
free

How does Mastocheck work?

Frequently Asked Questions

While some women may experience slight discomfort due to the compression of the breast, the procedure is generally quick, and any discomfort is usually brief.

A mammogram typically takes about 20 minutes from start to finish, including the time needed for preparation and positioning.
Avoid using deodorants, perfumes, or powders on the day of your mammogram, as these can interfere with the images. Wear a two-piece outfit for convenience.

Results are usually available within two to three weeks after screening. Our team will contact you promptly if any abnormalities are detected that require follow-up.

Mammograms use low-dose X-rays and the risk is minimal. The benefits of early detection far outweigh the risks of radiation exposure.

You will be required to fast 2 hours prior to the test. You can resume normal activities immediately after the blood sample is taken.

Results from Mastocheck are typically available within 2 to 3 weeks after the blood sample is collected. Our team will promptly contact you with the results and any necessary next steps.

Mastocheck can be performed during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, as it only requires a blood sample. However, it’s always best to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider.

Please refrain from scheduling the appointment during or 2 days before or after your menstruation cycle.
