“Cancer screening currently involves imaging tests or other medical procedures for several types of cancer, yet approximately half of cancer deaths occur in cancers with no current screening test,” said Louise Henderson, PhD, MSPH, professor of radiology at UNC School of Medicine and co-director of UNC Lineberger’s Carolina Cancer Screening Initiative. “MCD tests offer the promise of early detection for many different types of cancer across organ sites simultaneously. While there is a lot of excitement around MCD tests and their potential to revolutionize how we screen for cancer, the net benefits are unknown.”
