Certior Health has partnered with Datar Cancer Genetics Europe to launch the new screening test in Ireland, which is aimed at detecting circulating tumour cells in the blood.CEO of Certior Health Maggie Malone said her interest in early cancer detection stems from her own experience with the illness.
"This test tests for over 70 types of cancers, so there's a lot of cancers that aren't screened for and so it's great to have a test where you can [test for them]." "The second part of the test is to identify which organ those tumour cells are related to," she said. "[It can detect] 70 different types of cancers – everything from insight to sarcomas, gliomas, but for up to 40 different organs.
