Description
MYGENIA® Circulating Tumor DNA (ctDNA) Cancer Risk Assessment (Upgraded)
HOW CANCER STARTS?
- For a cancer to start, changes take place within the genes of a cell or a group of cells
- It can take many years for a cell to divide and accumulate enough mutations to form a tumor
- Cancer is the leading cause of death in Hong Kong and mainland China, and its incidence and mortality are increasing
- Before the age of 75:
Almost 1 in 4 will attain cancer
Almost 1 in 12 will die cancer
OVER 50% CANCER CASES ARE DIAGNOSED AT LATE-STAGES OF THE DISEASES
- Over 34,000 people are diagnosed with cancer each year in Hong Kong
- Over 50% of cancer cases are diagnosed late
- Mirroring incidence trends, rates increased for cancers in younger individuals
SCREENING CTDNA IS A BETTER WAY FOR EARLY CANCER RISK ASSESSMENT
- ctDNA is released from the tumor cell, which is dead or active, and then enters the blood.
- As ctDNA comes from tumor cells, this is a significant biomarker for early cancer risk assessment.
- For cancer risk assessment, we are screening the ctDNA, which has any gene mutations.
MYGENIA® CIRCULATING TUMOR DNA (CTDNA) CANCER RISK ASSESSMENT
- Interrogating 270 cancer-related genes in a single test
- Comprehensively covering 38 and 42 common cancer-related diseases in males and females respectively
- The latest OEC detection technology interrogates all the coding regions of the target genes
- OEC detection technology covers more gene mutations related to cancer pathogenesis
