Multi-Cancer Detection

| Description: |
Multi-cancer detection (MCD) tests that can reliably find precancer or cancer before it is symptomatic have the potential to substantially change cancer screening. Using a single blood draw, these tests may be able to detect the presence of multiple cancer types—including ones without established screening methods. By rigorously evaluating MCD tests and ensuring that the benefits outweigh potential risks, we may be able to take important steps toward ending cancer as we know it today. https://www.cancer.gov/research/annual-plan/scientific-topics/asymptomatic-multi-cancer-detection This image is part of the NCI Annual Plan and Budget Proposal FY 2024 collection.
