@mikewdby, I believe you are referring to the early detection blood test developed by Ajay Goel, Ph.D., of City of Hope Duarte Cancer Center in California. Read more here:

I can help with you question 3).

The High-Risk Pancreas Clinic within the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, serves as the hub for pancreas cancer screening in people at high risk of developing pancreatic cancer. Read more here:

I would ask your doctor at Mayo Clinic about the blood test.

@colleenyoung. Is this type of blood testing related in any way to the ctDNA test by Signatera? This blood test compares the dna of a biopsy with bits of dna circulating in the blood for the same tumor dna. Forgive me if my layman’s definition leaves a lot to be desired.
