Mercy Health Systems is offering a new blood test that can detect early signs of more than 50 cancers.

• Getting ahead: Mercy is one of the first health systems to offer this first-of-a-kind Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) test to patients. The test detects cancers that currently have no recommended screening tests through a simple blood sample and can alert patients to hard-to-detect, aggressive, and often fatal types of cancer. 
• Proofed: The new MCED test had clinical trials with over 20,000 patients and resulted in “99.5% specificity with one false positive in a sampling of 200 patients.” Technology keeps pushing the boundaries of medicine, and we’re getting to experience it right here.
