What is the difference between EarlyCDT and genetic testing?
Genetic testing can determine whether you carry a genetic mutation that indicates a predisposition to developing cancer. It helps you better understand the likelihood of developing cancer at some point in the future. A positive EarlyCDT indicates that cancer might already be present in the body; additional tests are needed to confirm whether cancer is present. EarlyCDT is designed to aid in the early detection of cancer at this moment but does not measure your likelihood of developing cancer in the future.
