EarlyTect (R) is the promise of Genomictree to keep your tomorrow healthy through early detection of cancer.Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening can effectively reduce disease-related mortality by detecting CRC at earlier stages. Therefore, early detection of CRC has emerged as an important global issue to reduce its high mortality. Currently, colonoscopy is the most accurate screening method for early diagnosis of CRC. However, its compliance rate remains very low due to its invasiveness, dietary restriction requirement, and extensive bowel preparation. Although noninvasive fecal immunochemical tests (FIT) for hemoglobin in stool are available, their sensitivities are relatively low in detecting stage I CRC. Thus, developing highly accurate CRC screening method using molecular biomarkers for people who are reluctant to participate in colonoscopy examination is urgently needed for early detection of CRC.

Increase in Participation Rate of Colonoscopy ScreeningThis test is a real-time PCR test that measures methylated syndecan-2 (SDC2) DNA using human fecal. Abnormal methylation of the syndecan-2 biomarker in colorectal cancer tissues is observed more than 95% regardless of the stage and is not observed in normal colorectal tissues. This indicates that the presence of methylated syndecan-2 DNA has a significant association with the incidence of colorectal neoplasia. It has been proven to be able to diagnose colorectal cancer with 90% sensitivity and 90% specificity, and 89% sensitivity for early stages (0-II) in a pivotal trial on 585 subjects at Yonsei University Severance Hospital and Severance Check-up Center.
