Cancer screening that goes beyond the basics

Learn more about the 50+ types we test for, including those moments most important to men. 1

Not available in all 50 states. Eligibility and rx required. Test is not FDA approved. Use is recommended for adults with an elevated risk for cancer, such as those 50 and older. ... The test is a screening test that looks for a signal sometimes associated with cancer. It does not diagnose cancer. Diagnostic testing is needed to confirm cancer. The test does not detect a signal for all cancers and not all cancers can be detected in the blood. False positive and false negative results do occur. Test should be used in addition to healthcare provider recommended screening tests. We recommend talking to your healthcare provider to determine if additional testing is needed.

A single, simple blood draw can screen for a signal of cancer all throughout the body.

Digestive Cancers

14 cancers

Digestive organs break down food and handle enzymes, acids, and bile on a daily basis. Cancers in these tissues may be shaped by things like chronic inflammation, chemical exposure, and rapid cell renewal along the digestive tract.

Ampulla of Vater

Ampulla of Vater cancer occurs where the bile duct and pancreatic duct join and empty into the small intestine. It can cause yellowing of the skin and digestive issues.

Anus

Anus cancer develops in the anal canal, which is the short tube at the end of the large intestine. It can cause bleeding, pain, or changes in bowel habits.

Appendix, Carcinoma

Appendix carcinoma is cancer that starts in the appendix, the small pouch attached to the large intestine near the small intestine. It is sometimes discovered incidentally during surgery.

Bile Ducts, Distal

Distal bile duct cancer is cancer in the lower part of the bile ducts, which are tubes that carry digestive fluid from the liver to the small intestine. It typically causes yellowing of the skin and digestive symptoms.

Bile Ducts, Intrahepatic

Intrahepatic bile duct cancer is cancer that develops in the bile ducts inside the liver. It can cause abdominal pain, weight loss, and liver function problems.

Bile Ducts, Perihilar

Perihilar bile duct cancer is cancer that occurs where the right and left bile ducts meet outside of the liver. It can cause yellowing of the skin and itchiness.

Colon and Rectum

Colorectal cancer is cancer that begins in the large intestine (colon) or the last few inches of the intestine before the anus (rectum). It may cause changes in bowel habits, bleeding, or abdominal discomfort.

Esophagus and Esophagogastric Junction

This is cancer of the tube that carries food from the throat to the stomach (esophagus) or cancer where the tube meets the stomach. They can cause difficulty swallowing and chest pain.

Gallbladder

Gallbladder cancer is cancer that develops in the gallbladder, a small organ beneath the liver that stores bile. It is often asymptomatic until later stages.

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor

This is a type of tumor that grows from specialized nerve cells in the digestive tract—most commonly in the stomach or small intestine. These tumors can range from slow-growing to aggressive.

Liver

Liver cancer is cancer of the large organ in the abdomen that filters blood and produces bile. It can cause abdominal pain, weight loss, and yellowing of the skin.

Pancreas, exocrine

This is cancer of the pancreas that arises from the cells that produce digestive enzymes. It is often asymptomatic until later stages and may present with yellowing of the skin, back pain, or weight loss.

Small Intestine

This is a rare cancer that occurs in the long, coiled tube that connects the stomach to the large intestine. It can cause abdominal pain, bleeding, or blockage.

Stomach

Stomach cancer begins in the cells lining the stomach. It may cause indigestion, stomach pain, nausea, or feeling full after eating a small amount.

Neuroendocrine & Hormone-Producing Cancers

4 cancers

The neuroendocrine system is made up of specialized cells dispersed throughout the body that produce hormones and signaling molecules. Neuroendocrine tumors arise from these cells and are characterized by their ability to produce hormones and express certain markers.

Adrenal Cortical Carcinoma

Adrenal cortical carcinoma is a rare cancer that develops in the outer layer of the adrenal glands, which sit above the kidneys and produce hormones. It can cause symptoms like excess hormone production.

Neuroendocrine Tumors of the Appendix

These are slow-growing tumors that develop from hormone-producing cells in the appendix. They are often discovered incidentally during surgery.

Neuroendocrine Tumors of the Colon and Rectum

These are tumors that arise from hormone-producing cells in the large intestine or rectum. They can cause bleeding, abdominal pain, or changes in bowel habits.

Neuroendocrine Tumors of the Pancreas

These are tumors that develop from hormone-producing cells in the pancreas. They sometimes produce excess hormones, causing various symptoms.

Urinary & Reproductive Cancers

8 cancers

These systems filter waste, regulate hormones, and support reproduction. Some of the cancers here might be influenced by hormone signaling or carcinogen exposure.

Bladder, Urinary

Urinary bladder cancer is cancer of the cells lining the inside of the bladder, which stores urine. The most common symptom is blood in the urine.

Kidney

Kidney cancer begins in the kidneys, the organs that filter waste from the blood and make urine. It can cause blood in the urine, back pain, or a mass in the abdomen.

Penis

Penis cancer is a rare cancer that develops in the skin or tissues of the penis. It may appear as a growth, sore, or color change on the penis.

Prostate

Prostate cancer develops in the prostate gland, a small walnut-shaped gland in men that produces seminal fluid. It often grows slowly and can cause urinary problems.

Testis

Testicular cancer develops in the testes, the male reproductive glands. It often presents as a painless lump or swelling in a testicle.

Ureter, Renal Pelvis

These are cancers that develop in the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder (the ureters) or in the kidney's urine-collecting area (the renal pelvis). They typically cause blood in the urine.

Blood Cancers

2 cancers

Blood and immune cells are continuously produced in the bone marrow. Blood cancers involve disruptions in how these cells develop, mature, or function within the immune system.

Leukemia

Hodgkin Lymphoma

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Plasma Cell Myeloma and Plasma Cell Disorders

Breast Cancer

5 cancers

Male breast cancer develops in the small amount of breast tissue present in men. It can be due to things like elevated estrogen levels, genetic mutations, and radiation exposure.

Breast Cancer

Male breast cancer is rare and develops in the breast tissue that men have. It typically presents as a lump or changes in the nipple area.

Skin Cancers

4 cancers

Skin cells form a protective barrier and are directly exposed to the environment. Skin cancers can be influenced by UV exposure, sunburns, and other exposures.

Melanoma of the Skin

Melanoma is the most serious type of skin cancer, which develops in pigment-producing cells called melanocytes. It often appears as a new or changing mole with irregular borders or multiple colors.

Merkel Cell Carcinoma

This is a rare and aggressive skin cancer that typically appears as a firm, painless nodule on sun-exposed skin. It grows quickly and has a high risk of spreading to other parts of the body.

Head & Neck Cancers

8 cancers

Tissues in the head and neck support breathing, speech, and swallowing and are exposed to air, food, and environmental factors. Cancers in this region can be influenced by those exposures.

Larynx

Larynx cancer is cancer of the voice box, which contains the vocal cords. It can cause hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, or a persistent cough.

Nasal Cavity and Paranasal Sinuses Nasopharynx

Nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses cancers are cancers that develop in the hollow spaces around the nose and in air-filled spaces in the bones around the nose. They can cause nasal blockage, nosebleeds, and facial pain. Nasopharynx cancer is cancer of the upper part of the throat that can cause a lump in the neck, hearing problems, or nosebleeds.

Oral Cavity

Oral cancer develops in the mouth, including the lips, tongue, gums, and lining of the cheeks. It can appear as a sore that doesn't heal or a white or red patch.

Oropharynx (HPV- Mediated, p16+)

This is cancer of the middle part of the throat (including tonsils and base of tongue) that is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. This type generally has a better prognosis than HPV-negative throat cancers.

Oropharynx (p16-) and Hypopharynx

This is cancer of the throat that is not caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and is instead often associated with tobacco and alcohol use. It affects the middle or lower throat and may cause difficulty swallowing.

Lung & Chest Cancers

12 cancers

Lung tissue enables gas exchange and interacts directly with inhaled air. Cancers in the lungs can be affected by long-term environmental exposure.

Lung

Lung cancers start in the lungs. They are often associated with smoking and can cause coughing, chest pain, and shortness of breath.

Mesothelioma, Malignant Pleural

Mesothelioma is a rare cancer of the lining of the lungs, which is most commonly caused by asbestos exposure. It can cause chest pain, shortness of breath, and fluid buildup around the lungs.

Bone & Soft Tissue Cancers

16 cancers

Bones and soft tissues provide structure, movement, and internal support. Cancers in these tissues arise from connective and supporting tissues found throughout the body, rather than from a single organ.

Bone

Bone cancer can cause pain, swelling, and fractures. It most commonly affects the long bones of the arms and legs.

Soft Tissue Sarcoma of the Abdomen and Thoracic Viseral Organs

This is cancer that develops in the soft tissues (muscles, fat, blood vessels, nerves) of the abdomen or chest organs. It may cause a mass or symptoms related to the affected organ.

Soft Tissue Sarcoma of the Head and Neck

This is cancer that develops in the soft tissues in the head and neck region. It can cause a visible mass, and symptoms depend on location.

Soft Tissue Sarcoma of the Retroperitoneum

This is cancer of the soft tissues in the space behind the abdominal cavity. It often grows large before causing symptoms such as abdominal fullness or back pain.

Soft Tissue Sarcoma of the Trunk and Extremities

This is cancer that develops in the soft tissues of the torso, arms, or legs. It typically presents as a growing lump that may or may not be painful.

Soft Tissue Sarcoma Unusual Histologies and Sites

These are rare types of soft tissue cancers or cancers occurring in uncommon locations.
