What are the chances of detecting a tumour?

Since the beginning of its activity, ASC has rigorously collected data of great academic importance, making information from the examinations of its asymptomatic patients available to the research community, information that is destined to enrich the worldwide oncological literature. An initial pilot study of 400 subjects has been published and will be released in 2019, and a recent survey is currently being published, in which 1,300 cases were analysed and monitored for one year (after the examination was carried out) to check the correctness of the negative or positive diagnosis obtained. The survey in question reports the presence of ascertained malignant tumours in approximately 2% of the cases examined, a rate that closely circumscribes the trend highlighted by international findings that generally speak of a value ranging from 1% to 3%.
