PIVKA II (DCP)

. The disease is caused by a parasitic roundworms (nematode) commonly found in dogs (Toxocara canis) and cats (Toxocara cati). Infection occurs through ingestion of eggs from contaminated soil, food, or water.
. The symptoms include: fever, abdominal pain, hepatomegaly, and respiratory symptoms (Visceral), eye inflammation, retinal damage, vision loss (Ocular).
. Detection of IgG antibodies indicates past or chronic infection. Early diagnosis helps guide appropriate treatment, reducing the risk of complications, improving patient outcomes, and also valuable for monitoring the efficacy of treatment.

The NSE test is used for diagnosis, disease staging, and monitoring treatment response in small cell lung cancer, neuroblastoma, and neuroendocrine tumors.

Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity Test (NIPPT) is a method to determine the biological relationship between the alleged father and the fetus without invading the mother’s body or affecting the fetus.

SPOT-MAS 8 Early Screening for 8 Cancer helps detect the early presence of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), which consists of DNA fragments released from tumors into the bloodstream.

SPOT-MAS 8 Early Screening for 8 Cancer supports the simultaneous early screening of eight (8) types of cancer, including:
Breast, Lung, Liver–Biliary Tract, Stomach, Colorectal, Pancreatic, Esophageal, and Head & Neck cancers*.

* Head and neck cancers do NOT include brain tumors, orbital tumors, thyroid cancer, or skin cancers of the head and neck region.

This test is recommended as a complementary screening tool, used in conjunction with standard, guideline-recommended cancer screening methods, to help increase early detection rates.
