MCED Screening Quick Reference Guide
This downloadable and printable resource can be utilized in the office to facilitate communication with patients about using MCED screening and as a provider quick reference tool. This reference guide is double-sided: one side describes the benefits of early cancer detection and the MCED testing process for patients, and the other side details MCED testing workflow and follow-up care pathways for the most common “cancer detected” results.
