Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a critical health concern in Singapore and the Philippines. In Singapore, it’s the most common cancer overall and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths.
Alarmingly, only about 40% of CRC cases are diagnosed at early stages, and just 38% of Singapore residents aged 50-74 undergo recommended CRC screening. Timely screening is crucial for early detection, which significantly improves treatment outcomes and survival rates. With early-stage CRC having over 90% 5-year survival rates compared to less than 10% for late-stage diagnoses, the importance of regular screening cannot be overstated.
ColonAiQ® offers a new, more accessible way to prioritize your health through early CRC detection.
Higher Sensitivity: ColonAiQ® demonstrates superior sensitivity compared to FIT (Fecal Immunochemical Test): (5) (6)
Patient Preference: Most patients prefer blood tests over stool-based tests, potentially increasing screening compliance. (4)
Improved Early Detection: ColonAiQ® significantly increases detection rates for precancerous adenomas and early-stage CRC compared to existing molecular screening tests. (6)
ColonAiQ® is a cutting-edge, multi-locus blood-based assay that targets circulating tumor DNA methylation. This innovative technology offers unparalleled success in non-invasive early detection of both colorectal cancer (CRC) and advanced adenoma (AA). (6)
