While MCD tests are intended to detect cancers, a negative test does not rule out the possibility of current or future cancer diagnosis. A positive test does not confirm the diagnosis of cancer and will need further confirmatory diagnostic testing as per your healthcare provider’s decision. All age appropriate guideline recommended screening tests should also be adhered to.
