Detection of cancer before a clinical diagnosis could give patients and caregivers more time for intervention and may lead to better outcomes because tumors are more likely to be curable

        And only $750 with the coupon code. 🤣

        I imagine it seems worth it if you test positive for cancer and not worth it if it comes back negative.

        I imagine most people won’t pay $1K for a test they don’t necessarily “need”.

      It’s not a diagnosis, it’s detecting metabolites produced by cancerous cells.

      A diagnosis is determining exactly what cancer it is, and how bad it is.

      Early detection like this is fucking awesome though. If it works and becomes available, I’ll be getting a regular screening. Lord only knows how many carcinogenic substances I’ve been exposed to
