EARLY DETECTION OF CANCER & RECURRENCE
Residual Disease
When cancer treatment is stopped, the cancer may or may not be completely removed. For example, did surgery completely eliminate the cancer? Presence of CAMLs indicates cancer.
Detection of Recurrence
In the US, there are an estimated 20 million cancer survivors. To determine if cancer is returning, patients are recommended to undergo CT imaging 2 – 3 times per year. CT scans expose the patients to damaging radiation and requires the tumor to grow to be detected. Blood test for CAML can detect cancer recurrence earlier than imaging, allowing a faster start of treatment if the cancer has returned.
Cancer Screening
We provide a simple blood test that potentially can screen for all cancers and in all stages.
For major cancers such as breast, prostate, lung, and colorectal, the detection rates are very high, over 80% in Stages I/II.
