False positive and false negative results do occur. 1 in 100 can expect to receive a CSD result, and approximately 60% of these individuals will receive a confirmed cancer diagnosis. The overall sensitivity in study participants with head and neck cancer was 85.7% (63.2% for stage I, 82.4% stage II, 84.2% stage III, 96.0% stage IV).
