Next-generation sequencing detection of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) for 10 cancer types: liver, lung, breast, colorectal, stomach, pancreatic, ovarian, esophageal, endometrial, and head/neck. Specificity up to 99.8%, sensitivity up to 78.1%. For adults 40+ and high-risk individuals. Doctor consultation separate.

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) testing is a liquid biopsy approach that detects tiny fragments of tumor DNA circulating in the bloodstream. Unlike traditional biopsies that require tissue samples, this non-invasive blood test can identify cancer-associated genetic mutations at very early stages — often before symptoms appear or tumors are visible on imaging. The test uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze cell-free DNA and identify mutations linked to 10 major cancer types.
