DNA OncoScreen by Mapmygenome

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death globally, with nearly 10 million deaths in 2020 alone. Each year, approximately 400,000 children are diagnosed with cancer, further highlighting the disease’s widespread impact. Despite the staggering statistics, cancer is often curable when detected in its early stages. The problem, however, is that less than 20% of cancer patients in India are diagnosed and treated in the early stages due to a lack of awareness and limited access to screening strategies.

DNA OncoScreen is designed to address this gap by offering a comprehensive cancer screening test that assesses genetic risks and biochemical markers. The test analyzes over 700,000 genetic markers across the genome, combined with various biochemical tests, to provide an accurate risk assessment for different types of cancers and known risk factors.

This integrated approach enables individuals to proactively manage their health by identifying cancer risks early and making informed decisions about prevention, treatment, and lifestyle changes.

Why DNA OncoScreen?

Early detection is key to successful cancer treatment. Many cancers, when detected at an early stage, can be treated more effectively, reducing the risk of severe outcomes. However, in countries like India, the lack of widespread cancer screening leads to late-stage diagnoses, making treatment more challenging and reducing survival rates.

DNA OncoScreen provides a solution by identifying potential cancer risks long before symptoms appear. This test empowers individuals with vital information about their genetic predisposition to various cancers, allowing for early intervention, personalized medical advice, and preventive care.

Additionally, the test’s biochemical markers offer insights into various health traits and conditions, helping to detect underlying issues like obesity or hormone imbalances that may contribute to cancer risks.
