Artificial intelligence algorithms are now routinely applied to MRI, CT, and PET scans to detect Stage I tumors with higher accuracy than manual review.

These analyze circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) or tumor cells (CTCs) from simple blood draws. In 2026, they are increasingly used to identify "molecular residual disease" (MRD)—signs of cancer that remain after surgery but before they can be seen on a scan.

Integration of genomics (DNA), transcriptomics (RNA), and proteomics (proteins) provides a "molecular fingerprint" of a patient's specific tumor. 2. Next-Generation Cancer Therapies Methods of Cancer Diagnosis, Therapy and Progno...

Modern diagnostics prioritize early detection and non-invasive monitoring to replace or supplement traditional tissue biopsies. Methods of Cancer Diagnosis, Therapy and Progno...
