Understanding the Importance of Early Cancer Detection

World cancer day (February 4). colorful awareness ribbons; blue

Detecting cancer early means finding it before symptoms become severe. Cancer is a leading cause of death in Southeast Asia, with over 1.6 million new cases and more than 1 million cancer-related deaths reported in 2020 alone[1]. 

The most common cancers in the region include lung, liver, breast, and colorectal cancers. Catching cancer early significantly boosts the effectiveness of treatment, leading to better outcomes.

There is a range of cancer screenings available in Singapore, including LucenceINSIGHT™ liquid biopsy test, which is designed to detect various types of cancer, making it a powerful tool for comprehensive multi-cancer screening. 

Developed by Lucence, a precision oncology company, this test analyses circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) in the blood to identify genetic mutations and other biomarkers associated with cancer.

The standard LucenceINSIGHT™ test can detect these cancers: 

  • Nasopharyngeal cancer
  • Breast cancer
  • Small cell lung cancer
  • Non-small cell lung cancer
  • Lung neuroendocrine tumour
  • Liver cancer
  • Biliary tract cancer
  • Cervical cancer
  • Gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST)
  • Pancreatic cancer
  • Colorectal cancer
  • Prostate cancer
 

The LucenceINSIGHT™ PLUS test adds the ability to detect more cancers, including:

  • Acute myeloid leukaemia
  • Bladder cancer
  • Endometrial cancer
  • Eye cancer
  • Head and neck cancer
  • Kidney cancer
  • Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma
  • Myeloproliferative neoplasm
  • Non-Hodgkin lymphoma
  • Oropharyngeal cancer
  • Skin cancer
  • Stomach cancer
 

Key Information about LucenceINSIGHT™ multi-cancer screening:

Comprehensive Detection: This test allows for the screening of multiple types of cancer with a single blood sample. It provides a broad overview, making it easier to catch different cancers early. LucenceINSIGHT™ uses advanced genomic analysis techniques for high accuracy, however it should be used with other diagnostic methods to ensure a comprehensive health check. 

Personalised Treatment Plans: By analysing the genetic profile of the cancer, the test helps doctors tailor treatments specifically to the patient’s unique needs. This personalised approach can improve the effectiveness of treatment.

 Ongoing Monitoring: LucenceINSIGHT™ enables continuous monitoring of cancer progression and treatment response. This helps in making timely adjustments to the treatment plan as needed. 

Comfort and Convenience: The test is non-invasive, requiring only a blood sample. This makes it a more comfortable and less intrusive option compared to traditional biopsies.

About the multi-cancer screening process

  1. To ensure a thorough assessment of your health, book a comprehensive health screening.  As part of your screening, add on the LucenceINSIGHT™ test for early cancer detection.
  2. During your health screening appointment, we will collect a blood sample for the LucenceINSIGHT™ test. This sample will be sent to Lucence’s lab for analysis. 
  3. Once the results are ready, our doctor will review your health report with you, explaining any findings and discussing the next steps.
 

By combining a comprehensive health screening with the LucenceINSIGHT™ test, you are taking proactive steps towards early detection and personalised care. 

This integrated approach ensures a more accurate and complete picture of your health, allowing for timely interventions and better health outcomes.
