AGTC Genomics announced the latest breakthrough clinical validation data at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2026, held April 17โ22, 2026 in San Diego, USA, one of the worldโs most prestigious platforms for cutting-edge cancer research.
The study highlights the strong clinical performance of AGTC Genomicsโ CancerScreenDx Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) test using circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA), reinforcing its potential as a scalable and non-invasive cancer screening solution.

The multi-centre clinical validation study, comprising 2,342 cancer patients and 1,646 non-cancer individuals, demonstrated:
โข Overall Sensitivity: 83.1%
โข Specificity: 95.4%
โข Low False Positive Rate: 4.6%
These results underscore the testโs ability to accurately distinguish cancer from non-cancer individualsโmeeting key performance thresholds required for population-level screening.

Early detection remains the most critical factor in improving cancer survival. The study showed:
โข Stage IโII Sensitivity: 75.0% โ 91.3%
โข Stage IIIโIV Sensitivity: 95.5% โ 100%
Importantly, the MCED assay demonstrated strong detection performance across multiple high-burden cancers relevant to Asia, including liver, gastric, pancreatic, bile duct, and nasopharyngeal cancersโareas where early diagnosis is often challenging.

AGTC Genomicsโ MCED platform integrates:
โข Targeted cfDNA mutation profiling
โข Genomic signature analysis
โข AI-driven machine learning algorithms
This integrated approach enables detection of cancer signals from a simple blood draw, offering a non-invasive, radiation-free alternative to conventional screening methods.

The findings support MCED as:
โข A single-test solution for detecting multiple cancers
โข A complementary tool to existing screening programs
โข A population-scale strategy to shift cancer detection earlier
By enabling earlier diagnosis, MCED has the potential to significantly reduce cancer mortality and healthcare burden across the region.
