By Dr. Chinta SidharthanSep 13 2022Reviewed by Aimee Molineux A recent press release by GRAIL, LLC announced the results of their interventional PATHFINDER study on the early detection of cancer using multi-cancer early detection blood tests. The results were presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology Congress in Paris this year.
The prospective PATHFINDER study used blood-based MCED and clinical follow-up methods to carry out cancer screening in 6,662 individuals aged 50 and older, who are at a higher risk of cancer. The study measured the number and types of diagnostic tests and the time required for a conclusive diagnosis of cancer from the time of detection of cancer signal using MCED.
The researchers reported cancer signal detections in 92 participants, of which 35 were diagnosed with cancer. Of the 35 confirmed cases, 71% had cancer types that do not have routine cancer screening. Furthermore, of the non-recurrent cancers among the confirmed cases, 48% were detected at stage I or II.
