On this episode of "Halteres Presents", hosts Mickey Urdea and Rich Thayer are sitting down with Eric A. Klein, MD, to get his perspective on the value of a molecular cancer signal of origin in guiding targeted diagnostic evaluations based on his real-world experience overseeing GRAIL's clinical development program spanning 9 clinical trials and diverse populations, including those with occupational exposure, and more than 350,000 Galleri tests run. He also opines on what could make multi-cancer early detections tests more widely adopted and how to broaden the definition of clinical utility for reimbursement in MCED testing. Please enjoy this episode of "Halteres Presents".
