NHS - ROCA test can reduce late-stage ovarian cancer detections by 44%, offering significant cost savings to the NHS.4 Mar 2026 15:11
GENinCode Plc is generating cost savings for the NHS through its genomic testing portfolio, which focuses on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and, more recently, ovarian cancer surveillance.
Key information regarding GENinCode's economic impact on the NHS:
Cost Efficiency: The cost of GENinCode testing is approximately half that of standard NHS costs for similar assessments, providing a more comprehensive cardiovascular disease prevention assessment.
Ovarian Cancer (ROCA): The Risk of Ovarian Cancer Algorithm (ROCA) test has been adopted by University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (UCLH). Economic analysis indicates that the ROCA test can reduce late-stage ovarian cancer detections by 44%, offering significant cost savings to the NHS.
Cardiovascular Savings: GENinCode’s tests (including LIPID inCode® and CARDIO inCode®) assist the NHS in identifying high-risk individuals for CVD, supporting the NHS 10-Year Plan by offering preventative, cost-saving measures for heart disease.
Expansion: The NHS has expanded the use of LIPID inCode® for familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) diagnosis in the North of England.
The company's technology aids in reducing the overall burden on NHS resources by enabling earlier, more accurate diagnoses, thus shifting from costly reactive treatment to lower-cost preventative care.
