About EarlyDiagnostics EarlyDiagnostics (EarlyDx) is devoted to providing accurate, affordable, and non-invasive liquid biopsy tests for early cancer detection and precision medicine. Its proprietary technologies for cost-effective cell-free DNA methylome sequencing, in combination with its powerful AI algorithms, have achieved high performance results in multi-cancer early detection and localization.

EarlyDx aims to launch commercial products beginning in 2024 to provide early cancer detection and precision medicine testing for doctors and patients, with the goal of improving the health outcomes of patients. About Multi-Cancer Early Detection In the U.S. alone, cancer occurs in one in five (1/5) men and one in six (1/6) women during their lifetimes. Current cancer detection technologies are typically limited to a few cancers and can be inconvenient, expensive, invasive, and incomplete. Most cancer cases are diagnosed in later stages, when treatments are much less effective. Developing the highest sensitivity and specificity testing to identify cases earlier has the potential to offer significant advantages to patients, to doctors and ultimately to the healthcare system.
