What is Pinaka^™?

Pinaka^™ is a cutting-edge and non-invasive blood test that provides important information to guide cancer treatment. It works with just a quick and simple blood draw, making it safe and convenient.

This test detects Circulating Tumour Cells (CTCs)-cancer cells that break away from a tumour and enter the bloodstream. Pinaka^™ isolates and identifies these cells using a process called immunocytochemistry (ICC) and further analyses key biomarkers on the CTCs through ICC.

With its highly accurate technology, Pinaka^™ minimises false results, ensuring reliable information. This test can help your doctor identify the right anti-cancer treatments for you, offering a more tailored and personalised approach to your care.

How does it work?

With just a simple blood draw, Pinaka^™ isolates Circulating Tumour Cells (CTCs) and analyses important biomarkers. Using advanced and proven technology, Pinaka^™ can detect CTCs in a wide range of cancer types, regardless of your age, gender, cancer stage, or treatment history. Because CTCs come directly from the tumour, their analysis provides information similar to traditional tumour tissue testing. Studies have shown that biomarker results from CTCs closely match those from tumour tissues, making Pinaka^™ a reliable and effective tool for cancer care.

Why choose Pinaka^™?

If it is hard to get enough tumour tissue for testing, Pinaka^™ offers a safe and simple alternative. With just a blood test, Pinaka^™ can provide accurate results, even when tissue samples are not available or unclear. Its advanced technology detects Circulating Tumour Cells (CTCs) with high accuracy, giving reliable information to help guide your treatment plan.
