The Apollo Cancer Centres across the country will offer a blood test to detect breast cancer early. The Apollo Hospitals group has entered into a collaboration with Datar Cancer Genetics to conduct the blood test.
On Wednesday, the hospital’s founder and chairman Pathap C. Reddy announced this at a conference virtually from Hyderabad.
“Breast cancer, a non-communicable disease, is growing at the rate of 15% in the country. If you can diagnose the disease early, it is curable. Easy Check blood test can detect breast cancer at an early stage. Already, 15 countries across the world, like the U.K. and the U.S., are doing it. In India, we have exclusive arrangement with Datar. The test will be offered as part of Pro-Health, our master health check-up,” he said.
