No: May be early detection but right now just seems to cause early anxiety.

Proof no...: The data of this test/technology is still preliminary. With the current data we have, the word "suggest" would be accurate. Antibody biochemical assays may identify the presence of tumor/cancer years before they are large enough to find by radiology; therefore before we can actually treat. If used, results should be integrated into overall risk assessment, screening, surveillance.
