The first blood test able to detect early-stage Breast Cancer
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted 'Breakthrough Device Designation' for its blood test to detect early-stage Breast Cancer. The Breakthrough Designation is granted by the US FDA for devices that demonstrate a potential for more effective diagnosis of life-threatening diseases such as cancer. The objective of the Breakthrough Devices Program is to provide patients and healthcare providers with timely access to medical devices granted such designation by expedited development, assessment, and review. Trucheck™ The test uses a proprietary technology developed by the Company to detect Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) specific to Breast Cancer. Studies have shown that the test can detect even Stage 0 (DCIS) and Stage 1 cancers with high accuracy.
