What is a Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) test?

A Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) test is an advanced screening tool that helps identify multiple types of cancer at an early stage, before symptoms appear. It can be performed using methods such as buccal swabs, saliva, and blood samples.

At Beacon Hospital, we now offer an innovative ctDNA-based MCED test that only needs a 10mL blood sample for a comprehensive cancer screening.

The MCED test works differently from conventional tumour marker tests and standard screening programmes. It identifies ctDNA signals that may indicate the early presence of several cancer types before symptoms appear. It offers a quick, minimally invasive way for cancer screening, giving you and your doctor valuable time to act sooner, when treatment may be more effective.

Using SPOT-MASTM technology, Beacon Hospital’s MCED test offers 78% overall sensitivity in identifying the 10 types of cancers, dependant on the stages of cancer, which include the top five most common cancers in Malaysia.
