10+ cancer types. One 6 ml blood draw.

TEPScan is a multi-cancer test. Its first Research Use Only launch in India covers lung (NSCLC) and head & neck cancer, with more modules in validation.

Why early detection matters across cancer types

Around 75% of cancers are detected late, after they have spread. Finding cancer at Stage I or II usually means simpler treatment, lower costs and much better outcomes. Yet most cancers have no affordable, non-invasive screening test.Source: WHO, Cancer fact sheet

TEPScan reads one shared signal, cancer-induced changes in platelet RNA, rather than searching for each tumour separately. That is why a single 6 ml blood draw can be tested against several cancer modules.

How modules are added

Each module is trained and validated on samples from partner cancer centres before release. NSCLC and head & neck cancer will launch first as Research Use Only tests in India, followed by a three-cancer kit. Breast cancer has completed 150 validations, including a study with Stavanger University Hospital in Norway.
