ONCOblot® testing is here!

This innovative blood test is right on the money. The blood test is highly sensitive to cancer and even detects the tissue of origin using ENOX2 proteins. The ENOX2 protein species in the blood is unique to malignant cells and absent from non-cancer cells.  These proteins can be detected in early development.

The ONCOblot® Test uses techniques known as two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and western blot analysis along with an ENOX2 protein-specific antibody for detection. The result of the blood test is presented visually on the ONCOblot®. Each type of ENOX2 has a specific location (molecular weight and isoelectric point) on the blot to demonstrate ENOX2 presence and to identify the tissue of origin.The test can be used to detect cancer early in high risk populations, confirm biopsy results and confirm post-treatment effectiveness. The  ONCOblot®  test is powerful enough to detect even stage 0 cancer.A positive mammogram typically requires an estimated few billion cells comprising the tumor. The ONCOblot® test can detect cancer in the body with a tumor as small as less then 2 million cells (this is a tumor no bigger then a pinhead). The ONCOblot® database contains 25+ cancers, including: Breast, Prostate, Lung, and Pancreatic.After performing the blood test, the results take roughly two weeks to process.  

If your oncologist doesn't offer this we do! We offer comprehensive ONCOblot® testing at Second Nature Care.
