April 20, 2026- Abbott will present new data at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2026 demonstrating continued advancements in its multi-biomarker, multi-cancer early detection (MCED) program supporting the commercially available Cancerguard® test. Additionally, the AACR Cancer Prevention Research Award for Outstanding Journal Article will recognize a publication on MCED multiyear outcomes from the DETECT-A study.
Multi-biomarker approach enables broader and earlier cancer detection
New data demonstrate how combining methylation (M) and protein (P) biomarkers improves cancer detection across stages, with each biomarker contributing independently to overall performance. Cancerguard is currently the only commercially available MCED test designed with a multi-biomarker class approach, combining methylation and protein signals to improve detection.
