PreveCol®
A simple way to stay ahead of colon cancer

What is PreveCol®?

It is a service for the early detection of colorectal cancer through a blood sample.

Don't wait until you have symptoms and it's too late.

 At Amadix we provide you with access to this innovative service through our 

ACCESS TO PREVECOL ®
  • A simple blood test to detect cancer

A new non-invasive way to access early detection of colorectal cancer without complications and prior preparations 

  • Increasing survival

By identifying cancer early, PreveCol impacts survival. When cancer is diagnosed in early stages (I-II), the probability of survival at 5 years is 90%, however, when cancer is diagnosed in advanced stages, survival drops dramatically to 14%1.

  • The importance of screening for precancerous lesions or advanced adenomas

In addition to cancer screening, it is important to monitor for precancerous lesions, also called advanced adenomas, in order to stay ahead of cancer.

You have two options to access our colon cancer screening service.

PreveCol® Characteristics

An innovative blood test service for the early detection of colorectal cancer that can be performed in any of the wide network of collaborating, approved laboratories and you can also purchase the service through our website 

PreveCol® is indicated for women and men aged 50-75 years who are at average risk of colorectal cancer.

Overall, the lifetime risk of colorectal cancer is approximately 1 in 23 for men and 1 in 25 for women. However, each person’s risk may be higher or lower than this, depending on their risk factors for colorectal cancer.(1)

When colon cancer is detected at early, localised stages, the 5-year survival rate is 90%, while this rate drops to 14%1 when patients are diagnosed at advanced stages. These data demonstrate the importance of detecting colon cancer at a stage where it is still treatable.

PreveCol allows the identification of advanced adenomas or pre-cancerous lesions, which are precursors to cancer.
Thanks to PreveCol®, we can identify the possible presence of these precancerous lesions. At the end of the service, you will receive a results report which will tell you whether there is a possibility of having premalignant lesions and/or colon cancer.
A positive result will indicate the possible presence of colorectal cancer and/or advanced adenomas (precancerous lesions). In this case, the patient will be advised to go to their health centre and undergo a colonoscopy diagnostic test.
Finding and removing premalignant lesions and proceeding to excision (endoscopic polypectomy) prevents colon cancer.

 
 

(*PreveCol is not a substitute test for colonoscopy. In case of a positive test result, a colonoscopy should be performed)

Yes, the process you need to follow is minimally invasive as it only requires a simple blood draw at one of Amadix’s accredited collection centres. PreveCol has advantages over other screening methods, such as those based on direct visualisation of the colorectal area (colonoscopy), which is an invasive method and, although the possibility of complications such as perforation of the bowel are rare, they could seriously harm patients if they occur*. 

It also has advantages over the faecal occult blood test. On the one hand, a blood test is simpler, avoiding the manipulation of faeces. On the other hand, PreveCol is more sensitive in the detection of precancerous lesions .

Colorectal cancer is the third most common tumor and is usually detected in late stages.

Colon cancer estimate 2022-2045

It is estimated that colorectal cancer will continue to increase in the coming years. By 2045, there could be around 3.2 million new cases per year worldwide, an increase of 70%. In addition, annual deaths from the disease could reach 1.6 million, 83% more than today. 1

How did we develop the colon cancer test, PreveCol®?

Developing algorithms with Artificial Intelligence for early cancer diagnosis

PreveCol has been fully developed and validated by Amadix. Through case-control and prospective clinical trials conducted in Spain, Poland and Germany.

The data obtained from these clinical trials have facilitated the approval of the in vitro diagnostic software used by Amadix by the European and Spanish regulatory authorities, thus allowing the commercialisation of the PreveCol® service.

What developments is Amadix making in its early detection tests?

At Amadix we are working on developing algorithms that lead to early diagnosis of cancer.

In addition, we are performing risk factor analysis, using Artificial Intelligence and Big Data from medical history and individual habits.

Thanks to these technologies, we can identify hidden risks, develop predictive models and incorporate these advances into algorithms. This allows us to define new screening populations beyond the age criterion, thus contributing to earlier diagnosis and better quality of life for patients.
