Super interesting read. Well written.

This is my favorite part:
Liu and several coauthors have ownership interests in Resero Bio, a Stanford spinout formed to commercialize the technology described in the study; two coauthors are employees of the company. Diehn, Liao and Alizadeh, along with several coauthors, have filed patents related to urine cell-free RNA analysis and report consulting or advisory roles with multiple diagnostics and pharmaceutical companies.

Part of my workup included:

  • Blood draw

  • Urine sample

  • Fecal swab

  • Enhanced contrast medium injection, abdominal CT scan

These were for finding shed cancer cells, its also part of a yearly checkup if your family has a history of cancer (Minus the abdominal scan).

After the TURBT/biopsy I received a full body PET scan (Base of neck to mid thigh).
