Irving, Texas – September 11, 2026 -- Caris Life Sciences has launched a national awareness campaign called "Math," featuring actor Kevin Costner, to promote Caris Detect, a multi-cancer early detection blood test now available across the United States.
The blood test screens for cancer signals before symptoms appear
Caris Detect combines ultra-deep Whole Genome Sequencing, Whole Transcriptome Sequencing, and artificial intelligence to scan the bloodstream for molecular signals associated with cancer. Unlike tests that check only a limited set of biomarkers, the company says its approach analyzes the entire genome and transcriptome for a broader molecular picture. The test is designed to complement, not replace, routine cancer screenings.
Caris says earlier detection can widen treatment options
David Dean Halbert, founder, chairman and CEO of Caris Life Sciences, said the company is applying years of work in molecular science and AI to detect cancer at stages when treatment options are broader and survival rates improve. He said Costner's ability to connect with people across generations could encourage more individuals to take a proactive approach to their health.
Costner says personal experience with cancer drove the partnership
Costner said cancer has affected people he knows and cares about, and that Caris' commitment to earlier detection and its use of science and technology drew him to the campaign. "Get the test,
