CTDNA has advanced significantly just in the past 6 six months. Although the currently utilized Guardant ctDNA has great benefit, and is leaps and bounds ahead of CEA, a new ctDNA test, which is made (informed) by your own tumor cells, SIGNATERA, if far better. And can inform the doctor of the existence of recurring cancer a full 9 months before a CT can pick it up. Ask your oncologist about this new test. It is covered by Medicare and insurance

@roywalton, @davebross
The Signatera test is not currently covered by any insurance, so even thought they send a bill, they don’t expect payment. They are covering the cost themselves for the time being. So there is no cost to the patient at all.
I recently had my test for the bio markers and genetic mutations, by Altera and Empower.
