"Cancers can be diagnosed three years before they can be diagnosed" wow thank you wanna maybe write a headline that actually means something?

It's not a diagnosis, it's detecting metabolites produced by cancerous cells.

A diagnosis is determining exactly what cancer it is, and how bad it is.

Early detection like this is fucking awesome though. If it works and becomes available, I'll be getting a regular screening. Lord only knows how many carcinogenic substances I've been exposed to
