"Cancers can be diagnosed three years before they can be diagnosed" wow thank you wanna maybe write a headline that actually means something?
It's not a diagnosis, it's detecting metabolites produced by cancerous cells.
A diagnosis is determining exactly what cancer it is, and how bad it is.
Early detection like this is fucking awesome though. If it works and becomes available, I'll be getting a regular screening. Lord only knows how many carcinogenic substances I've been exposed to
