A poster presented at the 2022 American Association for Cancer Research Special Conference on Precision Prevention, Early Detection, and Interception of Cancer found that a four-biomarker class multi-cancer early detection (MCED) test configuration had higher overall sensitivity and specificity compared to a three-biomarker test configuration. These results imply that more early-stage cancers could be detected. Dive further into the data and results with Dr. Charles Turck and Dr. Frank Diehl, Senior Vice President of Multi-Cancer Early Detection at Exact Sciences Corporation and co-author of the poster.
