The test is called “EarlyCDT-Lung” and it is available.

In sum, you take that and only do the Low dose Computed Tomography (LDCT) if that first comes back showing issues.

I personally believe in the use of biomarker testing as an early predictor of potential cancer; however I have talked to numerous oncologists, and they say there are too many false-positive and false-negatives to make it reliable for cancer detection. Therefore, current insurance companies will not cover the associated costs of biomarker testing. While it can be purchased privately, it can be too expensive for many patients.

This has been around for a while.

My oncologist ordered a Signatera test every 3 months after my lung cancer surgery.
