Brief summary
This study assesses the incorporation of Multi-Cancer Detection (MCD) testing, designed to detect many types of cancer, into clinical practice to understand both its use and effect in real world practice conditions.
Interventions
Up to 60 mL (about 4-5 Tbsp) of blood may be collected for an initial blood draw and up to 30 mL (about 2-3 Tbsp) may be collected for a second blood draw, 25-45 days after first blood draw. The research blood will be collected at the time of a clinical blood draw, if possible.
Participants will complete surveys related to attitudes and beliefs around Multi-Cancer Detection testing.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Financial impact of MCD testing | Up to 5 years | Assessed by types of diagnostic studies ordered as a result of positive MCD test results (e.g., to establish or rule out a cancer diagnosis). |
| Positive actionable MCD results | Up to 5 years | Assessed by the number of participants who receive positive MCD results |
| Psychological Impact of MCD Testing | Baseline (after receiving MCD results) | Assessed with the Multidimensional Impact of Cancer Risk Assessment (Adapted MICRA), which asks participants to evaluate their response to MCD test results over the past week. The MICRA consists of 20 items answered on a 4-point scale (Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Often). Higher scores generally indicate higher levels of distress or psychological impact. |
| Change in Patient Satisfaction with MCD Test | Baseline; After receiving MCD results (up to 5 years) | Participants will complete a 3-question survey, "Satisfaction with the Multi-Cancer Detection Test." Items are answered on a 5-point scale (not at all, a little, somewhat, very, extremely). |
