[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks all. To be clear this is different than cologuard in that it scans for a range of cancers as to which there are not currently any tests recommended/available. Having now known several people who died of pancreatic cancer that was not diagnosed until it had spread to other organs, I would be willing to pay $600/yr for them to run a blood test even if it only catches half of these cancers. The clinical data indicates that Galleri for instance will catch 83% of pancreatic cancers, and 83% of ovarian cancers (also typically asymptomatic). It looks like it doesn’t do so well on prostate, kidney, uterine or breast cancers, catching less than 30% of those. [/quote] The problem with pancreatic cancer is it does not matter when you catch it. It can go from stage 1 to 4 in a couple months and most people are not lucky enough to survive past a few years.[/quote]
