The New Blood Test Catching Cancer Before It Grows
In this episode of Menopause Mastery, I sit down with Sumit Rai, founder of Cancer Check Labs, to uncover a groundbreaking new approach to cancer screening and prevention. We dive deep into how cancer really develops—years before it's detectable by traditional scans—and why early detection at the cellular level could be the key to saving millions of lives.
