Whole Genome Sequencing
Genome-wide sequencing across all chromosomes detects mutations, copy-number and structural changes, with broad detection of circulating tumor DNA.

Multi-cancer early detection blood test
Caris Detect looks across DNA and RNA signals to identify cancer-associated biology from a routine blood draw—before symptoms may appear.
The screening need
Only a small number of cancers have guideline-recommended screening. Existing screening is organ-specific, and many cancers become detectable only after they are anatomically visible.
Broadening early-stage screening represents a significant unmet need. Caris Detect is designed to complement—not replace—guideline-recommended screening.

A multi-omic view
Caris Detect integrates DNA, RNA and AI-driven interpretation to provide a more complete view of cancer biology.
Genome-wide sequencing across all chromosomes detects mutations, copy-number and structural changes, with broad detection of circulating tumor DNA.
Measures total gene expression, detects fusions and active pathways, and captures real-time tumor biology.
Matches molecular profiles to cancer-specific signatures and provides a suspected tissue of origin to help guide follow-up evaluation.
Built on years of experience
Caris Detect is built on decades of precision oncology experience, combining deep whole-genome sequencing with insights from more than 1 million cancer cases and 50 billion molecular markers.
Key evidence
Caris Detect predicts a suspected tissue of origin to help guide follow-up evaluation. The source reports early-stage detection across lung, pancreas, prostate, breast, colorectal, uterine and additional cancer types.
Performance data were generated using 4 of the 9 AI pillars described in the source. Additional pillars may further strengthen overall performance. Total data set sample size by tumor type: breast 297; prostate 58; lung 30; uterine 32; bowel 55; head and neck 16; pancreatic 10; other 30.
Designed for preventive care
A simple process built to turn comprehensive molecular analysis into clinically supported next steps.
A standard blood draw is analyzed using WGS, WTS and comprehensive molecular analysis in a CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited laboratory.
Results provide a clear category and, when appropriate, suspected tissue-of-origin guidance with dedicated clinical care support.
Physicians and patients use the report to consider targeted evaluation, patient navigation and ongoing prevention planning.
Patient fit
Caris Detect is intended for adults 21 years and older seeking a more comprehensive approach to finding cancer early.
Adults 50+ may especially value broader early-detection insight.
For people with family history or genetic predisposition.
For those concerned about cancers without routine screening.
For people considering known exposure or lifestyle risks.
For individuals seeking a more comprehensive preventive approach.
Results designed for clinical action
A screening result is not a diagnosis. Each category is designed to support an informed conversation with a physician.
No cancer-associated molecular signals were identified in the blood sample at the time of testing.
Continue all routine cancer screening recommended for your age, sex, personal medical history and family history.
Findings may represent atypical biological activity requiring additional clinical evaluation.
The source describes physician follow-up and complimentary repeat testing in approximately three months.
Cancer-associated molecular signals warrant timely diagnostic evaluation.
Suspected tissue-of-origin information may guide additional targeted screening or diagnostic evaluation.
The HLI integrated approach
A fuller cancer-risk picture can require more than one kind of signal. HLI brings together inherited risk, anatomical imaging and blood-based molecular information to support a more individualized clinical strategy.
Inherited predisposition
HLI's whole genome sequencing can surface inherited predisposition and help inform a cancer-risk assessment tailored to personal and family context.

Caris Detect adds blood-based DNA and RNA signals that may identify cancer-associated biology and help guide follow-up evaluation.
Screening does not detect every cancer. The appropriate combination and timing of tests requires individualized clinical guidance and should complement guideline-recommended screening.
Clinical partnership
Human Longevity can help you understand how Caris Detect may fit alongside—not in place of—recommended screenings and clinical care.

Caris Detect is intended to complement, not replace, recommended cancer screening tests and other medical evaluations. A “No Cancer Signal Detected” result does not completely rule out cancer. Not all cancers can be detected through blood-based testing. An “Atypical Signal Detected” result does not confirm cancer, and a “Cancer Signal Detected” result is not itself a diagnosis. Clinical follow-up may be appropriate based on medical history, risk factors, symptoms and other diagnostic findings.
