Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Performance of two diagnostic aid tests among individuals presenting with symptoms, signs and/or clinical findings suggestive of one or more cancers originating from the protocol-specified sites: a multi-cancer (MC) and gastrointestinal-focused (GI) test
* Predictive value of the Harbinger multi-cancer (MC) test by each readout category. * Predictive value of the Harbinger GI test by each readout category.
18 months
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Quantify test readout distribution, likelihood ratio, and marginal classification distribution of each Harbinger test
18 months
Establish cancer incidence in this intended use population
18 months
Study Arms (1)
Patients with clinical suspicion of cancer or patients recently diagnosed with Cancer
Individuals 45 years of age or older who have signs, symptoms, and/or findings that their doctor suspects may be related to cancer, or who have recently been diagnosed with cancer and have not received treatment for this cancer.

- Subject is pregnant (Self-reported)
- Subject is a recipient of an organ transplant, blood transfusion within 120 days, or prior non-autologous (allogeneic) bone marrow or stem cell transplant (Subject with a corneal transplant can be considered for study entry)
