Pancreatic Cancer Screen Test (N-Nose) With Ultrasound (Internal Cancer Check With Pancreatic Focus)

· Those in Tokyo who want to screen for early signs of pancreatic cancer.
· Those with a family history or known risk factors for pancreatic conditions.
· Those who want a non-invasive, preventive approach to pancreatic health.
· Those who wish to monitor risk without radiation exposure.
· Those who wish to detect abnormalities before symptoms appear.

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.

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.

1. Consultation and medical history review will be conducted.
2. A urine sample will be collected and analyzed.
3. The abdominal area will be thoroughly cleaned.
4. A gel will be applied to the abdominal area.
5. Sound waves will be sent using a transducer.
6. Results will be analyzed and personalized recommendations will be given.
7. Post-care instructions will be provided by the doctor.

<Advantages>

· Enhances preventive care
· Reduces radiation exposure
· Non-invasive health checkup
· Quick and simple procedure

<Limitations>
· Follow-up tests may be required for further diagnosis

· No special preparation is required before the checkup
· Fasting is not necessary

· Resume normal activities after the checkup
· Follow up with the doctor if any abnormal results are found

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.
