Revolution in a Blood Drop: New Test Unmasks Over a Dozen Cancers Early

- Groundbreaking AI-powered blood test, CanScan®, detects over a dozen cancers from a single draw.
- Published in prestigious Nature Medicine, validating its high accuracy and ability to pinpoint cancer's origin.
- Received FDA Breakthrough Device Designation, promising a new era in early cancer screening.
In a stunning leap forward for oncology, Geneseeq has unveiled a game-changing weapon in the fight against cancer. The results, published on May 28, 2025, in the world-renowned journal Nature Medicine, detail the power of CanScan®—a revolutionary blood test capable of detecting more than a dozen cancer types, including elusive killers like pancreatic and ovarian cancer, often before symptoms arise1, 2, 5, 6, 8.
This is not just another test; it's a paradigm shift. CanScan® harnesses the power of AI-driven whole-genome sequencing, meticulously analyzing subtle, cancer-specific signals in circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from a single tube of blood1, 2. By integrating fragmentomics, genomic, and epigenomic features, it doesn't just scream "cancer!"—it whispers where the threat lies, accurately predicting the tissue of origin (TOO) with remarkable specificity (99%)1, 5.
The publication showcases interim findings from the JINLING cohort, part of the massive DECIPHE-Omnia Study involving over 8,000 participants, with the JINLING cohort now fully enrolled at 15,0006. This non-invasive marvel, which has already earned FDA Breakthrough Device Designation1, 2, 4, offers a convenient, comprehensive alternative to often invasive, single-cancer screening methods, heralding a future where early detection is the norm, not the exception.
