Is OncuraKit a diagnostic test or a screening test?
OncuraKit is a screening test, not a diagnostic test. The distinction is important. A screening test is designed to identify people who may have a condition that warrants further investigation — it casts a wide net to find signals worth following up on. A diagnostic test is designed to confirm or rule out a specific condition with high precision in someone who already has symptoms or a prior positive screen. A positive OncuraKit result indicates that one or more cancer-associated miRNA markers are elevated above the healthy threshold — this is a signal to investigate further with your physician, not a definitive cancer diagnosis. Confirmation requires clinical follow-up including imaging, biopsy, or other diagnostic tests.
