Catch cancer early, before symptoms appear.
A simple blood test that looks for early warning signs of cancer. If we find something, you get a full-body MRI — covered.
No symptoms required. No doctor’s referral needed.
Most cancers have no screening test. You know about mammograms for breast cancer and colonoscopies for colon cancer. But what about pancreatic? Ovarian? Liver? Lung (if you've never smoked)? For most cancers, there's nothing. You wait until symptoms appear — and by then, it's often harder to treat. Early detection saves lives, but the problem is access.

How miCheckup Works
Your profile. Our research. Your peace of mind.
Get your miRNA profile
A simple blood draw captures your molecular data — a snapshot of what's happening in your body right now. This is your data, forever.
Join our cancer research program (free)
Your profile is analyzed for patterns linked to early-stage cancer. Research physicians review your results with you.
Get imaging if signals found (covered)
If we detect patterns of interest, you get a full-body MRI — covered. A physician guides you through results and next steps.
Ongoing guidance & follow-up
Your physician helps interpret results, plan next actions, and guides you through follow-up as needed—clear, supportive, and practical.
Plus: Your profile also unlocks future research programs (heart health, brain health) as they launch — no additional blood draw needed.
How Can a Blood Test Detect Cancer?
Your blood contains tiny molecules called microRNA (miRNA). These molecules help control how your genes work. When disease develops — like cancer forming — your miRNA patterns change.
miRNA profiling measures these molecules. Our research program analyzes the patterns. If we find signals linked to cancer, you get imaging to investigate further.
The discovery of miRNA won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Medicine.⁴ This is Nobel Prize science, now accessible to you.
Canadian Validation: Ontario Health Study
Our research has been approved by the Ontario Health Study — one of Canada's largest population health research platforms. This means our algorithms are being validated using Canadian population data.
| Your DNA (like 23andMe) | Your miRNA (what we measure) |
|---|---|
| Your genetic blueprint | Your body's activity report |
| Never changes | Changes when disease is forming |
| Shows inherited risk | Shows what's happening right now |
