Should a patient get a positive multi-cancer early detection (MCED) test result, there are two diagnostic resolution pathways proposed for localizing and confirming that result. Joining Dr. Brian McDonough to break down those two pathways and how we can optimize our approach to diagnostic resolution are Drs. Betsy O’Donnell and Tom Beer. Dr. O’Donnell is the Director of Early Detection and Prevention of Malignant Conditions at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and Dr. Beer is the Chief Medical Officer for Multi-Cancer Early Detection at Exact Sciences Corporation.
