What is a Multi-Cancer Early Detection Blood Test?

Advanced Cancer Screening Through a Simple Blood Test

MedCare Clinics offers access to an advanced multi-cancer early detection blood test designed to help identify potential cancer signals through a single blood sample.

This innovative screening option looks for cancer-related signals in the bloodstream, including markers that may be associated with multiple cancer types. It is intended to support earlier detection, especially for cancers that may not have routine screening programs or may not cause symptoms in the early stages.

This test does not replace standard cancer screening such as mammograms, colon cancer screening, Pap tests, PSA testing, or physician-recommended imaging. Instead, it may be used as an additional preventive health tool for eligible patients who want a more proactive approach to their health.

Accuracy and Performance

88%
Sensitivity

If cancer is present, the test detects it about 88% of the time and follow up scans are ordered.

98%
Specificity

If the test is negative, there is a 98% chance that you truly do not have cancer.

This means a negative result provides strong reassurance, and a positive result leads to further imaging for confirmation.

How the Test Works

Four simple steps from consultation to results, guided by our medical team.

01

Book a Consultation

Discuss eligibility and next steps directly with our medical team.

02

Provide a Blood Sample

A quick and simple blood draw is performed on site or at any of our partner clinics.

03

Laboratory Analysis

Your blood is analyzed for tumour related DNA markers using advanced genomic technology in a specialized lab in Toronto. This test expands screening to more than 74% of cancers responsible for the highest mortality. It is significantly more sensitive than full body imaging because it detects microscopic DNA fragments that cannot be captured on MRI.

04

Results and Next Steps

If your test is positive, a complimentary private CT scan or MRI is arranged within three weeks, along with urgent referral to oncology if required.
