Will Cancer Detection Tests Cause the Next Cost Explosion?
Founder & Validator-In-Chief,
Validation Institute
Several new tests for cancer are now on the market. Galleri was first on the market, Cologuard has just introduced Cancerguard. Not to be outdone, an outfit called Mito screens for not just cancers, but 800 different conditions/diseases with a single blood draw.
