New results from the PATHFINDER clinical trial suggest that a multicancer early detection blood test can accurately identify the presence of cancer in apparently healthy people. The test, known as Galleri (developed by GRAIL), uses cell-free DNA and machine learning to detect a common cancer signal across more than 50 cancer types as well as to predict cancer signal origin. Once the test is validated and refined further, it may revolutionize the way in which cancer is diagnosed and treated.
