What is the TruCheck Cancer Early Detection test?

The TruCheck™ Early Cancer Detection Blood Test is a blood test that revolutionizes the ability to detect cancer in its early stages.

A non-invasive procedure, this test requires a simple blood test appointment. It is the only test available to check for the presence of circulating tumor cells (CTCs), detecting even the smallest existence of cancer from a small blood sample.

Very precise, it not only identifies if you have CTC*, but also where they come from. This means you know where the primary tumor is in your body, speeding up diagnosis and treatment, and allowing doctors to focus treatment on the areas needed.

We offer it as a stand-alone test and recommend that it be added to your annual health check.
It does not replace more specific diagnostic tests for particular cancers, but often identifies them at an earlier stage and allows us to take faster and more effective action.

 

How is this test revolutionary?

Launched in the UK in late 2022 after rigorous clinical trials, this test is brand new to the diagnostic screening industry. It is the only test available to check for the presence of circulating tumor cells (CTCs), detecting even the smallest existence of cancer from a small blood sample.

This test has received Breakthrough Designation, which is granted by the FDA to innovative therapies. This is a priority status granted by the American Food and Drug Administration to a medical device that is likely to provide a decisive therapeutic advance.

The test meets all marketing authorizations including the CE standard.

The test can identify a wide range of solid organ cancers (cancers that affect the organs rather than the blood), including:

  • Melanoma
  • Head and neck
  • Mesothelioma
  • Urinary tract
  • Gynecological
  • Prostate Thymus
  • Adrenal Central nervous system
  • Breast
  • Liver
  • Bile duct
  • Gastrointestinal
  • Soft fabrics
  • Osteosarcomas
  • Salivary gland
  • Thyroid
  • Lung
    And much more

During tumor development, some cancer cells can break off from solid tumors and infiltrate the bloodstream. These are circulating tumor cells (CTC). Tumor cells will also die, disintegrate and release fragments of their genetic material, circulating tumor DNA, into the blood.
(tcDNA).

What is included

1

A test kit

A collection kit will be sent to your home and you will send your blood samples by pre-paid DHL envelope to the laboratory. These samples are very simple and are explained by instructions and a video.

BODYCHECKUP is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This policy (together with our terms of use and any other documents referred to in it) sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us through this site.

2

A detailed test report.

After 2/3 weeks, you will receive a complete report on the presence or absence of tumor cells in your blood.

• A positive result means that CTCs have been found in your blood. The test results will indicate the location of the cancer type with high accuracy. This means we can tell you where the cancer started to grow. A specialist doctor will call you personally to discuss your results and what they mean.

A personalized patient journey is planned as well as a 2nd control test which will be offered to you free of charge.

• A negative result means that at the time of the test, there were no detectable cancer cells for the cancers included in the test circulating in your blood. This doesn’t mean you’ll never develop cancer. For all cancers not covered by the test, no conclusions should be drawn from a negative result.

Thucheck from Datar Center Genetics is a blood test that has received the “Breakthrough Device” label (considered revolutionary) by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This non-invasive test can detect more than 70 different types of solid tumors whether metastatic or not and requires only a 25 ml blood sample.

Trucheck detects circulating tumor cells (CTCs).
CTCs are not detected in individuals without cancer or in those with benign (non-cancerous) diseases. CTCs enable the detection of cancers with high sensitivity and enable differentiation between cancer patients and healthy individuals with high specificity.

The test has a sensitivity of 88.2% in detecting cancers of all stages and types. Additionally, it has an accuracy of 93.1% in determining the tissue or organ of origin in  positive cases. This means that even early-stage cancers are reliably detected. Additionally, the specificity of Trucheck is 96.3% in asymptomatic individuals and 95% in individuals with benign tumors.

 

The test will give a negative or positive result. A negative result suggests that no circulating tumor cells were detected in the donated blood sample. A positive result occurs when CTCs are detected in the donated blood sample, suggesting malignancy with a sensitivity of 99.9%. This can be further analyzed to determine the tissue or organ of origin.

In certain circumstances, an imbalance in the composition of the microbiota can manifest itself, characterized by an excessive or insufficient presence of certain bacteria compared to normal, which is called dysbiosis.

Evidence suggests that this disruption of the balance of the intestinal microbiota could be linked to problems such as depression, obesity, chronic inflammatory diseases, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or certain cancers.

Maintaining the balance of the intestinal microbiota is therefore of crucial importance for:

Guarantee the proper functioning of its various functions.
Limit its involvement in the development of metabolic, digestive, and other pathologies.

In order to achieve this objective, it is essential to know the composition of one's microbiota to detect possible imbalances and identify the possible presence of pathogens. With this in mind, we offer you the “intestinal microbiota” assessment, which allows you to establish a detailed map of your intestinal microbiota.

Nearly one in two people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime and 50% of these people will be diagnosed after their cancer has spread significantly.

Cancer is the leading cause of premature mortality in France, ahead of cardiovascular diseases. In 2023, it is estimated that more than 433,136 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in France and that 3.8 million people live in France today with a cancer diagnosis.

The goal of screening is to be able to diagnose cancer at an early stage, even if it does not yet produce symptoms. Very early treatment promotes the chances of recovery and limits the after-effects linked to the disease and certain treatments.

The test is reserved for asymptomatic adult men and women without a prior cancer diagnosis and over the age of 35.

A positive result means that CTCs have been found in your blood. The test results will indicate the location of the selected cancer type with high accuracy, and in other cancers the tissue of origin can be identified with reasonable accuracy. This means we can tell you where the cancer started to grow in your body.

If you test positive, your doctor will personally call you to discuss your results, what they mean, and guide you in your next steps, including a referral. We have established a patient pathway if you get a positive result.

A negative result means that at the time of the test, there were no detectable cancer cells for the cancers included in the test circulating in your blood. This doesn't mean you'll never develop cancer. For all cancers not covered by the test, no conclusions should be drawn from a negative result.

Sensitivity is the ability to correctly identify people with cancer. All TruCheck tests detect early signs of cancer at least 88% of the time. So the test will correctly identify at least 88 out of 100 people with early signs of cancer.

Body CheckUp is a subsidiary of Kensington International Clinic (https://kensingtoninternationalclinic.co.uk/en/)

Located in the Kensington district of London, Kensington International Clinic (La Maison Médicale) is an international clinic created by a group of French doctors in 2010 and which includes a complete health center and 3 centers of excellence: gastrointestinal, gynecology, mental health and well-being. The clinic has more than 40 doctors and has welcomed nearly 20,000 patients. The clinic created the KIC ACADEMY which works in particular in the field of microbiota and preventive detection of cancers. La Maison Médicale has become a pioneer in these exciting areas of medicine, offering very effective diagnostic and treatment programs specifically adapted to each patient.

Specificity is the ability to correctly identify people who do not have cancer.

All TruCheck tests have a specificity of 99%. So the test will correctly identify 99 out of 100 people without cancer. This means you have a low probability of receiving a false positive result and undergoing unnecessary medical procedures.

Certain clinical requirements must be met in order to be eligible for this test.

Before registering, a pre-consultation call with our doctor will be arranged.

To take this test, you must:

As this early cancer detection test is non-invasive, there is no downside to frequent testing. However, we advise carrying out this test every 12 months in the case of each negative result, perhaps as part of an annual comprehensive health check process.

-TruCheck detects the existence of cancers and not the possibility of cancers

- Conventional means of detecting cancer (mammography, colonoscopy, etc.) should still be favored

- A negative response to this test does not mean that you are free from any possibility of getting cancer

- TruCheck is not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment
