Is Cancerguard right for you?
Designed to help you stay ahead of cancer, the Cancerguard test is a great complement to standard screenings. It is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant or have had cancer within the past three years. Request the test or talk to your doctor if any of the following are true:
- You are proactive about your health
- You have increased risk factors such as smoking, alcohol use, obesity, or are older than 50
- You have a family history of cancer
The science behind the test
Before cancer causes symptoms, it can leave subtle clues in the blood called biomarkers. Cancerguard is the only test on the market designed with two distinct biomarker classes to help it detect more cancers.
A clear path forward
Cancer can be intimidating — understanding your results doesn't have to be. We give you a simple “negative” or “positive”. No jargon, just clear insight to help you move forward with confidence.
Negative
No cancer signals were detected in your blood
Positive
A cancer signal was detected in your blood, and follow-up testing is needed
Questions don't end when results arrive. Neither does our support.
Personalized support
Help understanding your result and next steps

Assistance scheduling follow-up appointments and imaging scans
Cost and coverage guidance
Help navigating insurance and reimbursement programs
False negative and false positive results can occur. A false negative result means the test did not find signals of cancer, but a person does have cancer. A false positive result means the test found signals of cancer, but a person doesn’t have cancer.
Real people. Real stories. Real peace of mind.
