Liquid Biopsy Colon Cancer Test: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Cost

Colon cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the large intestine (colon). It is the third most common cancer in both men and women. The symptoms of colon cancer include:

• Changes in bowel habits, such as diarrhea or constipation
• Blood in the stool
• Abdominal pain or discomfort
• Unexplained weight loss

If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to see a doctor. The doctor may recommend a liquid biopsy colon cancer test to determine if you have colon cancer.

What is a Liquid Biopsy Colon Cancer Test?

A liquid biopsy colon cancer test is a non-invasive test that detects cancer by analyzing a sample of your blood. The test looks for tiny fragments of DNA that are shed by cancer cells into your bloodstream. These fragments are called circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). By analyzing the ctDNA, doctors can determine if you have cancer and what type of cancer it is.

How is a Liquid Biopsy Colon Cancer Test Done?

A liquid biopsy colon cancer test is done by taking a sample of your blood. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. The laboratory will look for the presence of ctDNA in your blood. If ctDNA is found, the laboratory will analyze the DNA to determine if you have cancer and what type of cancer it is.

What is the Cost of a Liquid Biopsy Colon Cancer Test?

The cost of a liquid biopsy colon cancer test in India is around INR 33,000. This cost may vary depending on the laboratory where the test is done and whether or not insurance covers the cost of the test.

Why Choose a Liquid Biopsy Colon Cancer Test?

A liquid biopsy colon cancer test is a non-invasive test that can detect cancer in its early stages. This means that treatment can begin earlier, which can increase the chances of successful treatment. In addition, a liquid biopsy colon cancer test is less expensive and less invasive than other types of cancer tests, such as a colonoscopy.

Conclusion

A liquid biopsy colon cancer test is a non-invasive and cost-effective way to detect colon cancer. If you are experiencing symptoms of colon cancer, it is important to see a doctor and discuss whether a liquid biopsy colon cancer test is right for you.
