Abstract:
Regular cancer screening is crucial for early detection and treatment of cancer. Most cancer screening methods are cumbersome, invasive, and expensive, especially when conducting multi-organ examinations. How to improve the speed and effectiveness of routine cancer screening remains a significant challenge in healthcare. Multi-cancer early detection is a promising concept and a potentially effective solution to the current routine cancer screening methods. In recent years, several multi-cancer early detection technologies have been developed, such as detecting cell-free tumor DNA in blood, electronic nose technology, and using organisms like Caenorhabditis elegans as early cancer detection tools, with testing samples of non-blood fluids such as exhaled breath condensate and urine.
