Options that fit your life
With multiple ways to request and several blood draw options, our goal is to make getting the Cancerguard test as easy and convenient as possible.
Request the test online
You’ll answer a few questions to make sure the test is right for you. Our telehealth partners will review your request and, if you're eligible, write your prescription. Then, we’ll mail your kit.
If you have questions, you can request a virtual consult with a Recuro telehealth provider when you request.
Simple blood draw
After ordering, we’ll send a secure link for you to schedule your blood draw at a location that’s most convenient for you.
- You can choose from a
local lab (where available) or a home visit with a licensed phlebotomist - The process is similar to routine lab work — no prep or fasting required
Results delivered
We analyze your blood sample for signals of cancer using DNA and protein biomarkers. In about two weeks, you'll receive a clear, actionable result that indicates "positive" or "negative" for cancer signals.
It’s important to remember this is not a diagnostic test.* A positive result does not mean you have cancer, but that you need imaging and further tests. And a negative result does not completely rule out the possibility of cancer. Be sure to stay up to date on all recommended cancer screenings.
If a signal is detected, a Care Navigator can help guide you through the process and coordinate follow-up care
