Community Screening for Cancer Is Now Affordable
Breaking Down Financial Barriers to Life-Saving Cancer Prevention Community-wide cancer screening has historically been limited by high costs, complex logistics, and the need for specialized equipment and personnel. However, revolutionary advances in DNA ploidy testing and VELscope Vx technology have transformed cancer screening into an affordable, accessible, and scalable solution that can reach entire communities.
The Traditional Screening Challenge High-Cost Barriers
Traditional cancer screening methods face significant economic obstacles:
Expensive equipment: Conventional screening requires costly infrastructure and maintenance
Specialized personnel: Need for highly trained cytopathologists and technicians
Complex logistics: Difficult sample transportation and processing requirements
High per-test costs: Individual screening expenses that make mass programs financially unfeasible
Revolutionary Solution
DNA Ploidy Testing: Cost-Effective Mass Screening
Automated analysis: AI-powered systems eliminate need for large cytopathology teams
High-throughput capability: Process hundreds of samples daily with minimal staffing
Non-invasive collection: Simple brush-based sampling reduces collection costs
Objective results: Automated reporting eliminates subjective interpretation variations
VELscope Vx: Portable Prevention Technology Immediate, on-site screening capabilities:
Portable equipment: Lightweight, battery-operated devices for field use
Instant results: Real-time visualization eliminates laboratory delays
Minimal training required: Healthcare workers can operate with basic training
No consumables: Reusable technology reduces per-examination costs
Community-Level Economics
Cost-Effectiveness for Large Populations:
Economies of scale: Per-test costs decrease significantly with volume
Reduced infrastructure: Minimal facility requirements lower overhead
Automated processing: Reduces labor costs by up to 70%
Prevention savings: Early detection prevents expensive late-stage treatments

Community screening for cancer is no longer a luxury reserved for wealthy regions—it’s an affordable, accessible solution that can save lives and reduce healthcare costs in any community. With DNA ploidy testing and VELscope Vx technology, we can detect cancer early when treatment is most effective and least expensive.
The evidence is overwhelming: every dollar invested in community screening saves multiple dollars in treatment costs, while preventing immeasurable human suffering. Communities that implement affordable screening programs see dramatic reductions in cancer mortality and healthcare expenses.
The technology exists. The evidence is clear. The only question is whether communities will embrace this opportunity to save lives and reduce the devastating impact of preventable cancer.
Don’t let cost be a barrier to cancer prevention. Affordable community screening is possible today—and every community deserves access to life-saving early detection.
