Spiracheck Ltd

SpiraCheck is a start-up focussed on developing a multi-cancer early detection breath test for improved cancer survival. Through identification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) it is intended that the SpiraCheck algorithm will be able to rule-out gastrointestinal and other cancers through one test. SpiraCheck is a spin-out from Imperial College, London and the work of Professor George Hanna and his team. The SpiraCheck test is being developed to improve the five-year relative survival for gastro-intestinal cancers by increasing the rate of early detection. At the same time, the test should decrease the number of invasive diagnostic tests through better prioritisation, thereby reducing the financial burden of healthcare systems.
