Has anyone heard of this or had the test done. I just heard about it. It is supposed to be more accurate than CEA test for detecting recurrence especially for someone like me who has always had a low CEA (Around 1).

    Onco-DX by Genentech
    This test was approved for Medicare coverage last week and was endorsed by ASCO either last year or the year before. It still isn't covered by many insurers. It tests for many more markers than CEA and is expensive. It is only recommended for Stage II patients at this time, however.

    I wonder if this is similar to what you are calling Onco-Sure. I haven't heard of Onco-Sure.
