Apollo Cancer Centres in association with Data Cancer Genetics has presented a blood test that may notice breast cancer at an early stage in symptomless people.

The test, EasyCheck-Breast, will facilitate the detection of breast cancer even before the primary stage and is accessible altogether in all Apollo Centres across the country.

The launch of EasyCheck Breast marks a vital success towards quality technological advancements, guaranteeing timely designation and treatment to lower the death rate, Prathap Reddy, Founder & Chairman, Phoebus Apollo Hospitals, told newspersons at a conference.

According to Sudha S Murthy, Director, Clinical Support, Data Cancer Genetics, deaths because of breast cancer in Asian countries are as high as fifty per cent of incidence, whereas it's a lot lower in Western countries.

In India, we have a tendency to develop cancers in late stages, Stage III or IV, whereas within the West, it's a lot earlier because of their strong screening programmes. Therefore, it’s our responsibility to notice at an early stage. once it's detected early, mortality is far lesser. The EasyCheck Breast check may be an easy blood test, that is non-invasive and doesn’t involve radiation or diagnostic procedure.

It is supported by the detection of current growth cells, that are seen solely in malignancies. The test has been priced at Rs.6000.
