GRAIL - Early cancer detection via blood screening, by Illumina

...and in Australia free blood screening is being canned. Urrgggh.

Great website, excited to see what the future holds! I'm assuming it will be years though before it passes testing and reaches the general public.

Very interested to see how this and other projects which emphasize screening develop

Hmm... if you can detect cancerous DNA markers in the bloodstream, it may be too late (with the exception of hematological cancers etc). Ideally you want to catch tumors growing in local tissue environments (i.e. stage 1-2) before they reach the lymphatic and circulatory system. That said, it might be a useful tool if the DNA markers are treated as a prognostic indicator for treatment, or even detecting cancer subtypes.

So important. Pres. Obama stated in the SOTU '16 to cure cancer "once and for all"
