i think that it’s a good way to find cancer. It detects different types of cancer such as lung, breast and colorectal cancer. It also detects 7 other different types of cancers in which they don’t have screening tests so it’s a good option. It really just measures the amount of various types of blood cells that’s in your sample of blood.

Answer:

I feel that it is a good advancement to have in order to catch cancer in its very early stages, but it definitely has its downfall because false positives are a possibility. some people worry when there was no need to.
