Currently, medical technology is advancing rapidly, making it easier and faster to diagnose serious diseases such as cancer. One of the effective and minimally painful methods is blood testing to detect cancer risk using SPOT-MAS technology, which can screen for the risk of up to 10 types of cancer from just a single blood draw.
What is SPOT-MAS?
SPOT-MAS (Screening for the Presence Of Tumor by Methylation And Size) is a technology that detects cancer signals by analyzing DNA released from cancer cells in the bloodstream, known as circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). It analyzes the methylation patterns and size of the DNA, which can accurately identify the risk of various types of cancer.
10 Types of Cancer Detected by SPOT-MAS!
SPOT-MAS testing is accurate, with a specificity of 95.9% and sensitivity of 78.1%, covering a range of dangerous and common cancers such as:
- Liver cancer
- Breast cancer
- Lung cancer
- Esophageal cancer
- Ovarian cancer
- Pancreatic cancer
- Colorectal cancer
- Stomach cancer
- Endometrial cancer
- Head and neck cancer
Advantages of SPOT-MAS Testing
- Requires only a single blood draw, avoiding multiple painful procedures
- Fast testing with quick results (depending on the hospital)
- Detects risk for multiple types of cancer in one test
- Helps detect cancer at an early stage before it spreads
- Reduces both risk and costs associated with multiple-step testing
Who Should Consider SPOT-MAS Testing?
SPOT-MAS cancer risk screening is suitable for individuals with risk factors or those who should be monitored for cancer from an early stage, including:
- Those with a family history of cancer, especially the 10 types detected by SPOT-MAS, such as breast, colorectal, and lung cancer
- Individuals aged 40 and above, as this age group has a higher risk of cancer
- People with risky behaviors such as frequent smoking, regular alcohol consumption, or previous infection with cancer-related viruses like HPV
- Those with certain abnormal symptoms, such as unexplained weight loss or persistent lumps or wounds
- Individuals seeking in-depth health screening to monitor and prevent serious diseases before symptoms appear
However, the decision to undergo SPOT-MAS testing depends on the analysis of various factors and the physician’s assessment to suit each individual’s physical condition and risk.
SPOT-MAS Testing is Suitable for Anyone Who Wants to Ensure Their Health
With just one blood draw using SPOT-MAS, you will receive a risk assessment for 10 types of cancer and can detect abnormalities in the body from the early stages, which is a crucial time to increase the chances of complete recovery.
SPOT-MAS testing helps us plan comprehensive health care for a stronger and longer life.
If you are still unsure whether to undergo testing, consult a doctor to assess your risk and choose the appropriate testing method for you.
