What Are Cancer Screenings?
Cancer identification at its initial phase is critical for effective treatment. Cancer screening tests are intended to detect cancer at an early stage before warning signs occur. When cancer is more curable, these tests provide an efficient means of recognizing and managing distinct kinds of cancer. At Optimal Vitality in Pleasanton, CA, Dr. Clare Garcia offers advanced cancer screening blood tests, including liquid biopsy, that are convenient and accurate to assess potential cancer risks. A liquid biopsy is a cutting-edge blood test that detects fragments of tumor DNA and other biomarkers associated with abnormal cell growth. In addition, blood work for cancer evaluates key indicators that may signal the presence of cancerous activity. Early detection through these screenings allows for timely medical intervention, improving treatment success rates.
How Do You Get Screened for Cancer?
A simple blood test can provide essential insights. At Optimal Vitality, Onconomics Plus and Oncotrace offer cutting-edge diagnostic solutions. Onconomics Plus assesses genetic markers linked to cancer development, evaluating the likelihood of tumor formation and progression. Meanwhile, Oncotrace detects circulating tumor cells (CTCs), which can indicate active cancerous activity within the body. Both of these tests are forms of liquid biopsy — an advanced, noninvasive method that analyzes tumor-derived material in the blood to detect cancer at its earliest stages. These specialized tests provide a reliable approach to cancer detection, allowing individuals to proactively manage their health without undergoing more invasive procedures.
What Are the Benefits of Cancer Screenings?
Cancer screenings offer numerous advantages, particularly with advanced blood-based diagnostics. Benefits include:
- Early detection: Identifies cancer at its most treatable stage.
- Noninvasive testing: Requires only a simple blood draw, avoiding complex procedures.
- Personalized risk assessment: Evaluates genetic markers and tumor cell activity for a clearer health picture.
- Ongoing monitoring: Tracks cancer-related markers over time, aiding in early intervention.
- Improved treatment outcomes: Early diagnosis significantly increases treatment success and survival rates.
Optimal Vitality Reviews
If I could give 1000 stars to Dr. Clair I would. She saved my son’s life. My son was bitten by a tick during Covid and did not develop the typical bull’s eye rash. He started having horrible symptoms that drove him to the ER every night on and off for a year. The symptoms would start heavily at night and often we would just wait outside the hospital in case he needed to get in the ER. He was hospitalized and his symptoms were dismissed by the doctors at the hospital and he got a diagnosis of generalized anxiety. Dr. Clair properly diagnosed him and treated him. My son has now integrated into society and has a job. He is still being treated by Dr. Clair. Her treatment is priceless, and I recommend Dr. Clair. She treats you like a human, does not dismiss your symptoms, does not treat you like she is above you and you don’t know anything. She is humble, extremely knowledgeable, constantly educating herself, and attends several integrative medicine conferences. I am hugely indebted to Dr. Clair because she gave our family some peace. Lyme disease is horrible and most doctors don’t even know how to diagnose or treat it. Dr. Clair is an expert. I recommend her to all my friends.
