Does anyone here do a early test for cancer? If so, what do you use?

Most important thing you can do is a colonoscopy. I don't believe cancer screening by blood draw is very reliable.

In Europe there are like full diagnostics centers, costs between 2-10k, yet they do deep dive on various organs, maybe even more detail than blood draw

I’ve gotten colonoscopies and endoscopies every couple years since I was 20 (because of genetic risk). Would be cool to do some more generic cancer testing as well.

This is a useful podcast episode: https://peterattiamd.com/alexaravanis/ I'm personally for it, but I need to do my research on whether the tests available in my city are accurate.

I get alternating breast mri and mammogram + transvaginal ultrasound every 6mo (or should). I also do CA-125 testing https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/ca-125-test/about/pac-20393295 i go more frequently and with specificity based on personal risk, vs a less accurate all around like Grail
