Methods are provided to improve the positive predictive value for cancer detection using cell-free nucleic acid samples. The methods can include the use of at least two assays. The assays can vary, for example, with respect to sensitivity, specificity, sequencing depth, analyte, and cost. An exemplary method can be used to provide an initial cancer assay with high sensitivity and a follow-up assay with high specificity in detecting cancer. |
