How it works

Cancerguard™ helps identify early markers of cancer in your body.1

Detect changes occurring within your body early.1
Changes can occur in your cells over time.

Cancerguard™ detects these signals early.1

Screen for dozens of cancers with a simple blood draw and get insight that’s easy to understand — and act on. Here’s how Cancerguard™ works.1
Normal cells regularly release a small amount of healthy DNA and protein into the bloodstream.1,2
If cancer is present in the body, the cancer releases unhealthy DNA or other markers into the bloodstream too.1,3
Cancerguard™ identifies these DNA and protein markers in the blood — which helps find cancer earlier, when it is more treatable.1,4
