Taking the test
The Cancerguard EX test performed on samples collected through a simple blood draw. Blood samples are sent to the laboratory for testing to look for signals in the blood that may be found in many types of cancer.

Results
The Cancerguard EX test looks for certain signals that are common to multiple cancer types. A negative result means the test did not find a cancer signal in your blood sample. However, not every cancer will give off enough signals for the test to detect, which means that a negativeresult doesn’t guarantee you’re cancer-free. The Cancerguard EX test can’t rule out cancer of any kind. You should continue all routine cancer screening tests recommended by your healthcare provider.
Yes. The Cancerguard™ EX test can’t rule out cancer of any kind. Some cancers do not give off signals that can be detected by the test. If the Cancerguard EX test doesn’t find cancer but the patient does have cancer, that’s called a “false negative.” This can happen with any medical test.
