What If One Blood Test Could Detect
More Than 50 Types Of Cancers?
(BPT) - Everyone has been touched by
The Importance of
cancer in some way, whether it’s a friend
Early Detection
or family member facing a diagnosis, or
their own worry about susceptibility to the
disease. This year alone, roughly 1.8 million
people will be diagnosed with cancer in the
United States, according to the National
Cancer Institute. Nearly 1,700 lives are lost
to cancer every day.
Despite numerous advances in oncology - the
field of medicine that treats cancer - cancer
is the second-leading cause of death in the
U.S., according to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, and is projected to
become the first. That’s in large part because
most cancers go undetected until it is too late
because there is no early screening available
today for the majority of deadly cancers. The
current guideline-recommended screenings in
the U.S., while critical, test for five cancers
and screen for one cancer at a time. Cancers
without available screening tests account for
71% of all cancer deaths in the U.S.
Medical experts agree that early detection
of cancer saves lives and correlates with
the ability to treat the disease successfully.
Because screenings exist for five types of
cancer when there are more than 100 types
in total, the most pressing unmet need in
cancer early detection is to identify cancers
for which there are no existing recommended
screening tests.
“Late-stage cancer detection is deadly,” says
Dr. Joshua Ofman, chief medical officer and
external affairs at GRAIL, a company whose
mission is to detect cancer early, when it can
be cured. “The five-year survival rate of a
person diagnosed with cancer once it has
already spread is just 21%, compared to an
89% survival rate of someone whose cancer
is found in early stages. There is a significant
opportunity to reduce cancer deaths through
early detection.”
