Abu Dhabi’s Burjeel Hospitals has launched Trucheck™ intelli, a simple, non-invasive blood test that screens for over 70 types of can_cer early—even before symptoms appear.

Designed for people over 40, it requires no fasting or preparation and delivers rapid results, offering a cost-effective alternative to multiple individual screenings.

While it doesn’t detect blood can_cers like leukemia or lymphoma, its 95–98% accuracy can help identify silent can_cers, including pancreatic, gastric, and brain can_cers.

Experts stress it complements existing screenings, aiming to catch can_cer early when treatment is most effective.
