Early Cancer Detection - IvyGene Test
What is the IvyGene Test?
The IvyGene test is a blood test that uses advanced DNA sequencing methods to detect the DNA methylation pattern of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in blood samples in order to both confirm the presence of cancer and give quantitative data.
The IvyGene® test has been validated with four (4) cancer tissues of origin: breast, colon, liver and lung cancers. The presence of other cancer types may also result in an elevated IvyGene® Score.

Why should I get an IvyGene Testing?
Since this test detects very small amounts of circulating cancer cells in the body, it leads to early detection and treatment much, much before anything would show up on Xrays, or CT scans or any other traditional test. It also picks up on cancer recurrences in the very, very early stages and thus results in a higher rate of treatment success.
