This could be a game changer. It identified cancers for which screening exams exist and for several that don’t. No idea yet if it will help to extend life-more testing needs to be done. It’s my hope that something like this will be a part of everyone’s annual check up.

Wow! Yes, this could be a real game-changer, especially for those cancers "for which no approved screening tests exist." Very hopeful.

This does look promising. Thanks for sharing it.
