A new blood test is designed to pick up specific markers which show changes in the behaviour of stem cells that are a precursor to cancer mutations.
READ MOREThe future of cancer treatment — hailed as the “holy grail” of early detection — is now being put to the test.
READ MORETwo weeks ago, Prerna Dhawan lost her life to stage IV lung cancer. Her husband and daughter Aarti, 20, are still in a daze as it all happened so fast. Dhawan, in her sixties, showed no symptoms. She went about her daily chores which included a walk in the park, reading books, doing the laundry and cooking elaborate meals.
READ MOREAshish Tripathi's Tzar Labs has engineered the first prognostic test for cancer which can detect the condition at Stage 0 - marking a giant step forward in its cure.
READ MOREA first-of-its-kind blood test that can detect whether cancer is absent, imminent, or present in different stages is on its way to the market. This is a claim made by brothers Ashish Tripathi and Anish Tripathi, who lead Singapore-based molecular diagnostic company Tzar Labs Pte. Ltd. and Mumbai-based Epigeneres Biotechnology Pvt. Ltd., respectively.
READ MOREIndian scientists have achieved a breakthrough in early cancer detection. They have discovered a way of diagnosing cancer through a blood test. This test has been co-developed by Mumbai-based Epigeneres Biotechnology and Singapore-based Tzar Labs. NDTV speaks to those at the helm of these companies about this breakthrough.
READ MOREA team of Indian scientists says it has achieved a stunning breakthrough in early cancer diagnosis with a discovery rooted in a contentious segment of cellular biology that, if validated by additional trials, holds vast market potential in a branch of therapeutic medicine worth tens of billions of dollars a year.
READ MOREBiotech startups Tzar Labs and Epigeneres Biotechnology have co-developed a novel blood test called HrC, which can help in the detection of cancers even before symptoms or tumours start developing.

READ MORETzar Labs, a molecular diagnostic company in coordination with the Mumbai-based Epigeneres Biotechnology, has claimed to have developed a breakthrough blood test for early prognosis/diagnosis of cancer.
READ MORETzar Labs, a specialised molecular diagnostic company based in Singapore, and Mumbai-based Epigeneres Biotechnology on Friday said that they've made an unprecedented breakthrough in early detection and prognosis/diagnosis of cancer.
READ MORECancer is a devastating disease whose incidence has increased in recent times and early detection can lead to effective treatment. Existing detection tools suffer from low sensitivity and specificity, and are high cost, invasive and painful procedures. Cancers affecting different tissues, ubiquitously express embryonic markers including Oct-4A, whose expression levels have also been correlated to staging different types of cancer. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) that initiate cancer are possibly the ‘transformed’ and pluripotent very small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs) that also express OCT-4A. Excessive self-renewal of otherwise quiescent, pluripotent VSELs in normal tissues possibly initiates cancer.
