Abstract
What if a simple blood draw taken during a routine visit to the doctor for a check-up or a flu shot could allow us to identify specific cancers at an early stage, when they are the most treatable? What if blood tests could help the cancer care team improve patient care at every step of the patient’s journey—from detection to treatment selection to response and recurrence monitoring?
