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
Verified & Approved
Early Detection
How does Mastocheck work?
