Brief summary
PRESCIENT is a multi-center, prospective observational study aimed to detect cancers early by combined assays for serum protein markers and cell-free DNA (cfDNA) methylation markers. Blood RNA markers will also be evaluated. The study will enroll approximately 11879 participants, including participants with malignancies or benign diseases, and healthy participants.
Interventions
Blood collection and multi-cancer early detection test
