How it works
Reveal what's hidden in your biology
Identify subtle, microscopic changes within your body using the CancerguardTM test
Your cells have a story.
We’re listening.
The Cancerguard test screens for signals linked to more than 50 cancer types and subtypes using a simple blood draw. It delivers insights that are easy to understand – and act on. Here’s how it works.
Normal cells regularly release a small amount of healthy DNA and protein into the bloodstream.
If cancer is present in the body, the cancer releases unhealthy DNA or other markers into the bloodstream too.
Cancerguard identifies these DNA and protein markers in the blood – which helps find signals of cancer earlier, when it is more treatable.1,2
