Test Overview & Methodology
The OncoPro Circulating Tumor Cell (CTC) analysis detects live malignant cells shed from colorectal tumors into the bloodstream, enabling earlier risk assessment than conventional imaging alone.
| Parameter | Our Test (OncoPro CTC) | Closest Alternative (Standard CEA Blood Test) |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic Precision | EpCAM-based immunomagnetic enrichment + multiplex fluorescent staining (CK+/CD45–/DAPI+); 99.9% sensitivity | Tumor marker CEA, lower specificity (approx. 50–70%) for early-stage cancer |
| Methodology | Extraction & Specialized Staining (Immunofluorescence + automated digital microscopy) | Chemiluminescent immunoassay |
| Turnaround Time | 21 Working Days (comprehensive molecular characterization) | 1–3 working days |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a DHA-licensed specialist, I always emphasize that circulating tumor cell results must be correlated with colonoscopy and histopathology. An elevated CTC count is not a biopsy – it signals the need for further, definitive diagnostic investigation. Please use this advanced screen to start a guided clinical conversation rather than jumping to conclusions.”
— Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor, Specialist Diagnostic Radiology, DHA Registration ID: 61713011
⚠ Medication Advisory

- Exclusion Criteria: Active severe infection or sepsis; current pregnancy (due to physiological leukocyte shifts); known allergy to any component of the collection kit preservative.
- Red Flags Requiring Immediate Medical Attention (irrespective of test results): Visible blood in stool, unexplained weight loss >5% in one month, persistent change in bowel habits lasting more than three weeks, or acute abdominal pain.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the OncoPro CTC colorectal cancer screen, and how does it differ from a colonoscopy?
The OncoPro CTC blood test detects live circulating tumor cells shed from the colon or rectum into the bloodstream, enabling non-invasive early risk assessment. Unlike colonoscopy, it does not visualize the colonic mucosa; it indicates the likelihood of an existing malignant process and should be used in conjunction with endoscopic examination.
2. How should I prepare for the blood draw, and why must the sample stay at 18–22°C?
You need a special preservative-added EDTA tube from our kit, and the sample must be shipped immediately at 18–22°C – never refrigerated or frozen – to keep CTCs viable. Any deviation from this cold chain protocol causes cell lysis and false-negative results. Our VIP Mobile Phlebotomy team strictly follows this ISO-certified logistics pathway.
3. Is this test approved by UAE health authorities and covered by insurance?
Yes, the test is fully DHA/MOHAP compliant under Facility License 1143, and we verify direct insurance billing via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731 before your appointment.
