Multicancer early detection tests are likely to transform cancer screening in the near future, particularly if they receive strong government support, says a researcher.
Detecting cancer early before it spreads throughout the body can be lifesaving. This is why doctors recommend regular screening for several common cancer types, using a variety of methods. Colonoscopies, for example, screen for colon cancer, while mammograms screen for breast cancer.
While important, getting all these tests done can be logistically challenging, expensive and sometimes uncomfortable for patients. But what if a single blood test could screen for most common cancer types all at once?
This is the promise of multicancer early detection tests, or MCEDs. This year, US President Joe Biden identified developing MCED tests as a priority for the Cancer Moonshot, a US$1.8 billion federal effort to reduce the cancer death rate and improve the quality of life of cancer survivors and those living with cancer.

Post vaxxine this will become an extremely important test.
Joe Biden said he was going to cure cancer in 2008.

They’ve been touting this super blood test for years... I haven’t been offered any such test.

A perfect example of clickbait.
This “story” has been around for literally years and it is nowhere near coming to pass. Of course that never stops off the wall websites from rerunning it as a news item in order to get advertising clicks.
Theranos, indeed.
Good analogy. And faster than I could get there, too.
Finding Cancer cure has been a handsome funding source for researchers for many decades.
The treatments for cancer are so obscenely expensive and profitable to pharma, doctors and other support people, and I know this firsts hand witnessing my wife’s treatments for 5 years, I am now convinced they will never find a cure or prevention. Cancer is just a very big profit machine to be killed.
I’m convinced they have buried many cures already.
I stopped reading right there.
We have had this test for dogs for two years now:
