The ability to catch cancer early on can greatly improve a patient’s outcome. But most cancers don’t have a traditional, routine screening. That means many patients may have cancer but not show symptoms until the disease progresses. By then, treatment options may be limited.
To spot cancer earlier, GRAIL has developed a blood test that screens for over 50 cancers. Chief Medical Officer and oncologist Dr. Jeffrey Venstrom explains how this early screening can help oncologists better treat patients and improve health outcomes for patients.
