In the battle against cancer, early detection is crucial for timely medical interventions when the chances of survival are highest. Unfortunately, traditional cancer testing methods that rely on symptom-based diagnosis can result in almost 50% of patients being diagnosed in advanced stages, leading to the need for more aggressive treatments and less favorable outcomes. LucenceINSIGHT™, now available through Health Today, offers Canadians access to state-of-the-art screening technologies for early cancer detection. This pioneering test has the potential to reduce the incidence of late-stage diagnosis and empower individuals to take control of their health and well-being.
Early Detection Is Key For Optimal Outcomes
Early detection of cancer signatures and prompt diagnosis provides significant benefits to patients, including:
- Rapid response with further testing and active surveillance
- Reduced need for invasive interventions, leading to decreased cancer progression and faster recovery
- Increased rates of cancer remission
- Lower costs of treatment, including financial and quality of life costs
- Higher survival rates
Yet, despite the availability of early detection technologies, 40% of screenable cancers are still diagnosed at advanced stages, highlighting the need for greater awareness and proactive screening measures.
Introducing LucenceINSIGHT™
Health Today Inc. proudly introduces LucenceINSIGHT™, a groundbreaking multi-cancer early detection (MCED) tool designed to revolutionize cancer care for Canadians. By harnessing a simple blood draw, LucenceINSIGHT™ screens for the signal of up to 50 cancers with unprecedented precision. Thanks to its proprietary amplicon-based technology, the tool boasts an impressive sensitivity of 80.9% and specificity of 99%, identifying critical single nucleotide variations (SNVs), indels, and cancer-associated viruses such as Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA).
What sets LucenceINSIGHT™ apart is its innovative use of data to generate a localization signal, predicting with 88% accuracy the potential origins of the cancer signal within the body. This feature, known as Predicted Signal Localization, is a game-changer, offering valuable insights that direct further confirmatory diagnostic testing. For Canadians, LucenceINSIGHT™ offers a beacon of hope, enabling earlier detection of cancer when treatment is most effective, significantly enhancing the prospects of successful outcomes and transforming the landscape of cancer care in the country.

Everyone Can Benefit With LucenceINSIGHT⢠Early Detection
LucenceINSIGHT™ testing is a powerful comprehensive cancer screening tool that can benefit anyone who wants a comprehensive snapshot of their health and disease risk, and certain populations are likely to benefit the most from this innovative technology. LucenceINSIGHT™ testing can provide critical insights into overall health and guide more effective treatment decisions for Canadian with increased risk for cancer including:
- Individuals with exposure to cancer-causing behaviors, environments, or substances
- Those with age and gender predispositions to certain cancers
- People with a family history of cancer
- Individuals with a personal history of previous cancers
Ground-Breaking Detection Of These Cancers With LucenceINSIGHT™
LucenceINSIGHT™ utilizes the amplicon-based technology to screen multiple cancers. This test correctly identifies cancer 80.9% of the time and correctly ruling it out 99% of the time. It can spot tiny genetic changes and certain viruses linked to cancer in DNA that comes from tumors and is found in the bloodstream.
After analyzing this information, the test can also guess where in the body these cancer signs started, suggesting up to two possible locations. These predictions are called Predicted Signal Localization and are included in the results provided by LucenceINSIGHT™. This innovative cancer screening test is capable of detecting signatures of 12 types of cancer, including:
- Nasopharyngeal Cancer
- Breast Cancer
- Lung Cancer
- Lung
- Endometrial Cancer
- Liver Cancer
- Ovarian Cancer
- Prostate Cancer
- Stomach Cancer
Health Today also offers LucenceINSIGHT™ PLUS, which screens for up to 50 cancer types and provides a more comprehensive range of cancer detection. LucenceINSIGHT™ covers the 12 cancers highlighted in green.
Early detection of these cancers can increase 5-year survival rates to as high as 99%. The following are some examples of the significant increases in survival rates that can result from early detection.
Early vs. Late Cancer Diagnosis 5-Year Survival Rates
- Breast cancer: Early stage (98 percent) vs. late stage (28 percent)
- Prostate cancer: Early stage (99 percent) vs. late stage (30 percent)
- Colorectal cancer: Early stage (91 percent) vs. late stage (14 percent)
| Cancer Type | 5-Year Survival (Localized) | 5-Year Survival (Distant) |
|---|---|---|
| Breast Cancer | 99% | 28% |
| Ovarian Cancer | 93% | 31% |
| Cervical Cancer | 92% | 17% |
| Endometrial | 95% | 17% |
| Colorectal Cancer | 91% | 14% |
| Bladder Cancer | 96% | 6% |
| Stomach Cancer | 70% | 6% |
| Liver Cancer | 34% | 3% |
| Prostate Cancer | 99% | 30% |
How Does LucenceINSIGHT™ Testing Work?
LucenceINSIGHT™ works by conducting a single blood test to screen for signatures of multiple cancers, including breast, ovarian, cervical, pancreatic, liver, colorectal, stomach, prostate, and bladder cancers, (when applicable).

FAQs
LucenceINSIGHT™ uses proprietary amplicon-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to screen for the signal of 50 cancers with a sensitivity of 80.9% and specificity of 99%. The test identifies single nucleotide variations (SNVs), indels and cancer associated viruses such as Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). When a cancer-associated finding is made, the machine-learning algorithm analyzes the data to predict up to 2 sites where the cancer signal might have originated from. The report will present the result as Predicted Signal Localization, with an accuracy of 88%.
LucenceINSIGHT™ is recommended in conjunction with existing screening tools for:
- Individuals aged 40 and above without personal history of cancer
- Individuals with elevated risk for cancer (eg, family history of cancer, diet, lifestyle etc)
Note: LucenceINSIGHT™ is not recommended for use in individuals who are pregnant, or have a history of cancer in the past 3 years.
After collecting your sample, The Health Today team ships to a lab for processing. Results are provided in 7-10 days for LucenceINSIGHT™, and 14-21 days for LucenceINSIGHT™ PLUS.
