All such additional terms, policies and rules are considered part of these Terms of Service and are incorporated by reference. 

  1. Description of Services

The Services currently include (i) analysis of the levels of certain biomarkers in the blood sample you provide, and (ii) for those who agree to our Informed Consent for Research & Development information from to a machine learning algorithm that predicts the likelihood of certain cancers based on your biomarker analysis and other clinical factors. These Services are presently available under the trademark “OneTest™” although we may offer the Services under one or more different trademarks or brand names in the future. Thus, any use of the term OneTest™ in these Terms of Service also refers to the same or related products that may be marketed under a different trademark or brand name.  

  1. Changes to these Terms of Service and the Services

At our sole discretion, we may revise and update these Terms of Service and post the updated Terms of Service on our website www.OneTestforCancer.com. All changes are effective immediately upon posting to our website and will apply to all access to and use of the Services from that point onward. Your continued use of the Services after we post revised Terms of Service means that you acknowledge and agree to the revised Terms of Service.

  1. Participation in ongoing research and development

OneTest™ includes algorithms that were developed using health outcomes data (i.e., whether or not there was a diagnosis of cancer) collected approximately one year after the biomarker level assessment from tens of thousands of individuals that received this blood test. We seek to continuously improve our algorithms by collecting health outcomes data in a like manner from consumers like you.   

As a condition of receiving certain discounts that we may offer from time to time, we are asking you to participate in this ongoing research and development and, to alert us to any confirmed diagnosis of cancer after taking OneTest™. Participation in this research and development is optional and voluntary.

We will only use your health outcomes information for research and development purposes with approval from an institutional review board (IRB) and with your consent.

To the extent that your data, in combination with data from many other individuals similarly tested, contributes to new intellectual property,  ownership thereof shall remain with 20/20 and may be sold or licensed to third parties, as long as your personal identity is maintained anonymous,  without remuneration to you.

If you do so, you will be responsible for compliance with local laws. 

  1. Notice of Technical Limitations of OneTest™

Cancer can arise from minor genetic changes to otherwise normal cells in the body. As a result accurate detection of cancer, especially in its early stages, and reliably distinguishing cancer from non-cancer, poses substantial technical challenges. Thus, every test for cancer, including OneTest™, has important technical limitations that you should carefully consider before ordering this test and interpreting the results. These limitations include the following: 

  • OneTest™ is based on our current knowledge of many diverse technical disciplines including, without limitation, cancer genetics and biology, pathology, immunology, epidemiology, biostatistics, bioinformatics, computational biology, and artificial intelligence. This knowledge changes almost daily as more is learned through research and development. Thus an OneTest™ report based on the current state of knowledge may be interpreted differently in the future. 
  • OneTest™ is NOT a definitive test for cancer. The only definitive test for any cancer is an analysis of biopsied tissue by a qualified pathologist.  
  • OneTest™ is intended as an initial screening to indicate the potential need for further follow-up testing to confirm the presence of cancer. It is possible for an individual to have a high probability of cancer according to the OneTest™ but not have cancer. A low OneTest™ score result should not be used to rule out the presence of cancer. 
  • OneTest™’s algorithms were developed based on scientific studies of a specific population (East Asia). Thus, the interpretations you receive may be based on a population that differs from your ethnicity or genetic background. The algorithms derived from data from an East Asian population may not exactly translate to an American population. 
  • A high score (false positive) for an individual tumor marker may result from benign conditions which are not cancer.   
  • False-negative results may occur when a person receives a low score but has cancer. In addition, false-positive results may occur when a person receives a high score but does not have cancer. 
  • Every tumor is different. Every person has variations that are either unique to them or are not well described in medical and scientific literature.  
  • OneTest™ reveals the probability, likelihood, or risk of cancer. Most of those deemed to have a higher likelihood of cancer than the average person will not be found to have cancer. 
  • Repeat testing of individuals who have biomarker results at a slightly high or ambiguous level will usually be advised 

 

20/20 takes its laboratory quality very seriously. Our laboratory meets quality control standards set by the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA). Despite our focus on quality, problems with our sample process may occur from time to time. These problems may result from sample misidentification, a contaminated sample, or insufficient serum (blood). We continuously perform quality control on our processes and procedures. Even so, errors may result during data generation in the lab and in the processing of the data on servers. 

Tumor marker information that you choose to share with your health professional may become part of your medical record. That means it could be accessible to other health professionals and possibly health insurance providers in the future. Please see our Privacy Policy for further information about how we handle your information and your options for disclosure of such information. 

OneTest™ should supplement, but never replace, routine cancer screening tests recommended by your healthcare professional and/or leading national medical organizations such as the American Cancer Society and various medical specialty organizations that publish practice guidelines. These screening tests that you should continue to receive include, without limitation, mammograms, colonoscopies, and PAP smears. (The PSA test that is part of OneTest™ is identical to those available from national lab chains). 

Our Services do not incorporate a complete view of your health history. Before you act on any health information provided through OneTest™, please first consult with a healthcare professional. In addition, not all results from OneTest™ can or should be acted upon. If you have questions or concerns about your health, you should speak with a health professional. 

OneTest™ is a Laboratory Developed Test (LDT) that is not currently regulated by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). OneTest™ is subject to regulation by the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Maryland Department of Health under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA). In general, CLIA approval is directed at the technical performance and analytical validity of the test (i.e. whether the test delivers consistent results) rather than the impact of the test on disease outcomes. 

The laboratory equipment and kits used to analyze the biomarkers in OneTest™ are cleared by the FDA for certain uses. Except for the PSA test, which is approved by the FDA for use in screening for prostate cancer, most of the other biomarker test kits used in the OneTest™ are cleared by the FDA generally for assessments of those suspected of having cancer or detecting recurrence of cancer among those previously diagnosed.
