Why we don't include race as a risk factor
When discussing risk factors for cancer, among other health conditions, one that often comes up is race.
Can a blood draw tell you whether you have cancer?
Liquid biopsies analyze blood, urine, or sputum for DNA signatures of cancer, and can detect many cancers earlier than current screening protocols. The technology is still developing, but could radically transform cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Why am I not seeing a screening recommendation?
Screening recommendations should reflect both your lifetime and near-term risk. In some situations, the costs may outweigh the benefits.

Should I always get screened if I have elevated risk?
Catch screening recommendations are informed by near-term risk. Although your lifetime risk for a particular cancer may be elevated, that doesn't mean that near-term screening is always the right decision.
