What Is Pancreatic Cancer Risk Test (N-Nose) With Ultrasound?
Pancreatic Cancer Risk Test (N-Nose) With Ultrasound is a non-invasive dual screening approach designed to detect pancreatic cancer at an early stage. The N-Nose test analyzes a urine sample using the scent-detection ability of specialized nematodes to identify cancer-specific biomarkers, offering a painless and simple method of early risk detection. This is complemented by a pancreatic ultrasound, which provides real-time imaging of the pancreas to spot structural abnormalities. Together, they offer a radiation-free and comprehensive checkup ideal for early intervention.
How It Works
Pancreatic Cancer Risk Test (N-Nose) With Ultrasound combines two procedures. First, a urine sample is collected for the N-Nose test, which uses C. elegans (microscopic worms) to detect cancer-related volatile compounds. Their movement helps determine cancer risk. Next, a pancreatic ultrasound is performed. A transducer uses sound waves to create real-time images of the pancreas, identifying any abnormalities like cysts or tumours. The combination of these tests offers a non-invasive, radiation-free way to assess pancreatic health.

FAQ
Q1: How accurate is the Pancreatic Cancer Risk Test (N-Nose)?
A1: The test is highly accurate for detecting early pancreatic cancer risk but should be combined with other diagnostic tools for a comprehensive evaluation.
Q2: Is fasting required before the test?
A2: No fasting is required before either the N-Nose test or the pancreatic ultrasound.
Q3: Does the test have any side effects?
A3: Pancreatic Cancer Risk Test (N-Nose) has no known side effects. Pancreatic ultrasound is non-invasive and also carries no significant risks.
Q4: How long does it take to get the results?
A4: Results for both tests typically take a few days to a week. Please consult with the doctor at our affiliated clinic for a follow-up on the results.
Q5: How often should I take this test?
A5: It is recommended to undergo regular screening if you have risk factors such as a family history of pancreatic cancer or other medical conditions that may increase your risk.
