SpotMas ctDNA is a blood-based multi-cancer early detection test designed to identify signals associated with certain cancers.

What Is the SpotMas ctDNA Early Cancer Detection Test?
A blood-based screening option that analyses circulating tumour DNA for cancer-associated signals.
Circulating tumour DNA, or ctDNA, refers to small fragments of DNA that may enter the bloodstream from tumour cells. SpotMas ctDNA uses laboratory analysis to look for patterns associated with certain cancers.
Unlike a test that focuses on one specific cancer marker, a multi-cancer early detection test is designed to look for signals associated with several cancer types. However, detection performance can differ depending on the cancer type, disease stage and other factors.
A positive result does not confirm cancer, and a negative result does not rule it out. Further medical assessment may be necessary depending on the result and your individual circumstances.

What is the SpotMas ctDNA test?

Can a blood test detect cancer before symptoms appear?
Multi-cancer early detection tests are designed to identify cancer-associated signals that may be present before symptoms develop. However, detection is not guaranteed, and performance varies by cancer type and disease stage.
Is SpotMas ctDNA a diagnostic test for cancer?
No. A positive screening result does not confirm cancer, and further investigations may be needed. A negative result does not completely exclude cancer. Your healthcare professional can explain the appropriate next steps.
Is SpotMas ctDNA more accurate than traditional tumour markers?
Test performance depends on the specific test, cancer type, disease stage and population studied. A general claim that SpotMas is more accurate than all traditional tumour markers should not be made without suitable comparative clinical evidence. Ask your clinician how the test fits into your screening plan.
Who should consider the SpotMas ctDNA test?
Adults interested in additional screening may discuss the test with a healthcare professional. Suitability depends on individual risk factors, medical history, age and existing screening needs.
Does a negative SpotMas ctDNA result mean I do not have cancer?
No. A negative result means the test did not identify the relevant signal at the time of testing. Some cancers may not be detected. Continue recommended cancer screening and seek medical advice if you develop concerning symptoms.
What happens if the test detects a cancer-associated signal?
A positive result requires medical follow-up. Depending on the findings, a healthcare professional may recommend further investigations, such as imaging or a biopsy, to assess the possible source of the signal.
