How is this test different from signatera, this test also detects cancer in the blood before it shows up in scans . It also detects CtDna.

I just looked up the information regarding the Signatera test. I saw two obvious differences. Firstly, they request a tumor sample, besides a blood sample. Secondly, they use the old, whole exhome sequencing which would not be able to find the much larger amount of mutations that the new, whole genome sequencing finds, with the new test.
