Already available but of course not covered by insurance... and expensive ~$1K.
-
In the medical world, $1k is almost free.
-
And only $750 with the coupon code. 🤣
I imagine it seems worth it if you test positive for cancer and not worth it if it comes back negative.
I imagine most people won't pay $1K for a test they don't necessarily "need".

"Cancers can be diagnosed three years before they can be diagnosed" wow thank you wanna maybe write a headline that actually means something?
It's not a diagnosis, it's detecting metabolites produced by cancerous cells.
A diagnosis is determining exactly what cancer it is, and how bad it is.
Early detection like this is fucking awesome though. If it works and becomes available, I'll be getting a regular screening. Lord only knows how many carcinogenic substances I've been exposed to
