This one should really be at the top of ProductHunt.

"At least half of all cancers in the United States are diagnosed in Stage III and Stage IV, leading to lower survival rates. Detecting cancer at the earliest stages dramatically increases the probability of a cure and long-term survival." - Huge potential here. I believe GRAIL is poised for rapid global scale. It imposes no limitation to how many times a person can go for screening as their screening is free from radiation exposures and invasive procedures. Good luck.

Great idea, hope to benefit from this service / product soon anywhere in the world...

Very interested to see how this and other projects which emphasize screening develop

I think it's unfortunate that the website doesn't have a "HOW can consumers access" section. I imagine a lot of people concerned about cancer are wondering what to do next.

...and in Australia free blood screening is being canned. Urrgggh.

Great article on Grail in MIT Technology Review - http://www.technologyreview.com/...

Great idea! Hopefully it'll do what it says and it will help save the lives of millions of people

Remarkable!!! if it does what it says, the world will benefit significantly using this. Would be interested to know the timelines.

Hmm... if you can detect cancerous DNA markers in the bloodstream, it may be too late (with the exception of hematological cancers etc). Ideally you want to catch tumors growing in local tissue environments (i.e. stage 1-2) before they reach the lymphatic and circulatory system. That said, it might be a useful tool if the DNA markers are treated as a prognostic indicator for treatment, or even detecting cancer subtypes.

So important. Pres. Obama stated in the SOTU '16 to cure cancer "once and for all"

I will be interested in reading the papers this tech is based on (not sure if they can detect a few specific cancers or most/all cancers). If they can really do this it will be very helpful, but of course detection is only one step toward treatment/cure - but the earlier you detect cancer the better.

A very good initiative. But what matters most is what will be the pricing for a single test. If it ends up being priced like the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations test then point is lost. One other thought is the psychological impact of such a test. There is a very good possibility that most people who takes this test might end up being positive for some sort of cancer. Although you might not have contracted cancer you might end being treating yourself like one, right?

I think its GRAIL and not GARIL

Great website, excited to see what the future holds! I'm assuming it will be years though before it passes testing and reaches the general public.
