The FDA cannot approve a cancer screening test without convening an advisory panel.

The multi-cancer blood test market could hit $9 billion by 2030!

The FDA panel's endorsement could accelerate that boom. Leading tests like Grail's Galleri already cost ~$949 out of pocket, and Medicare doesn't yet cover them — leaving a major access gap despite their early-detection promise.

The FDA-cleared Shield blood test costs ~$895 per screening.

Guardant Health's Shield test won Medicare coverage after FDA clearance in 2024 — critical since ~65 million Americans are eligible for colorectal cancer screening, representing a massive potential market.
