Development and evaluation of cancer differentiation analysis technology: a novel biophysics-based cancer screening method.

Background: Routine health checkup is an essential strategy for monitoring population health and maintaining healthy workforces. However, there was a lack of cancer screening tests among routine health checkups due to high costs and unreliable methods.

Methods: We conducted a two-stage study to evaluate the value of a blood test, Cancer Differentiation Analysis (CDA), which is developed to differentiate the blood samples of healthy individuals from those of cancer patients through measuring and analyzing multiple biophysical properties.
