Why early detection matters

Detecting cancer early may improve treatment options and clinical outcomes. When cancer is identified before it has spread, treatment can be less extensive and may be more effective. Early detection, together with appropriate medical assessment, supports timely diagnosis and informed treatment decisions.

01
Family history

If you have a family history of cancer, know your risk factors

If a parent, sibling, or child has been diagnosed with pancreatic or ovarian cancer, your lifetime risk may be significantly elevated. Early knowledge is a clinical advantage.

02
Genetic risk

Understanding your genetic risk

Your genes can influence your likelihood of developing certain cancers. For some people, inherited genetic risk can help inform discussions with your healthcare provider about whether additional screening, risk assessment or genetic counselling may be appropriate based on your individual circumstances.

Real stories

From people who've tested and families impacted

After being unwell for months with general symptoms that could be from a multitude of conditions, the pancreatic testing supports as it is a rule-out test.

— Nathan, SA

I lost my sister to pancreatic cancer. Her symptoms were subtle so when she was diagnosed it was too late…within months of her being diagnosed she passed. Early detection can really change everything.
