Abu Dhabi Launches Early Cancer Detection Blood Test
Abu Dhabi has introduced a new blood test called Trucheck™ intelli that can detect over 70 types of cancer in their early stages.
This test is simple and doesn't require any special preparation.
It's designed for people over 40 and aims to make cancer screening easier and more effective.
The test can spot many types of cancer that are usually hard to find, like pancreatic, gastric, and brain cancer.
It's not perfect, though—it can't detect blood cancers like leukemia.
The test costs about Dh7,000-8,000 and is very accurate, with a low chance of giving a wrong result.
Doctors hope this test will help find cancer earlier, making it easier to treat.
