#372 Detecting Cancer Before It Starts: The BLOOD Test That Could Save a Billion Lives | Sumit Rai (Cancer Check Labs)
Today, I’m joined by Sumit Rai, CEO of Cancer Check Labs and a passionate force for innovation in cancer detection. Sumit’s personal story is deeply moving—after losing his younger sister to cancer, he made it his life’s mission to change how we find and fight this devastating disease. With over 25 years as an entrepreneur and investor, he’s poured his expertise and heart into developing groundbreaking technology that can detect cancer at its earliest stages—sometimes even before there’s a visible tumor.
In our conversation, Sumit reveals the science behind Cancer Check Labs’ test, which extracts intact circulating tumor cells from a simple blood draw, allowing for detection of over 200 types of solid tumors at stage zero. We dig into the surprising realities of cancer risk, why so many cases go undetected until it’s too late, and how shifts in our modern lifestyle are driving rates higher—especially in younger populations. Sumit also shares the inspiring story behind his nonprofit work and what it takes to build a truly mission-driven team.
If you’ve ever wondered what’s really possible in cancer prevention and early intervention, or how technology and personalized medicine are reshaping the future of longevity, this episode is packed with insight, hope, and actionable strategies.
