Background: Among the recently developed blood-based multi-cancer early detection (MCED) tests, determining the location of tumors is pivotal to guiding appropriate treatment. We aim to systematically review and statistically examine the accuracy of tumor of origin prediction among blood-based MCED tests. Methods: Original articles were searched from Pubmed, Cochrane, and Embase that featured blood-based screening tests, multiple cancer types, and asymptomatic human subjects. We excluded studies with small samples (n Findings: Of 1,074 records identified and screened, 4 cohort studies were analyzed using cfDNA-based diagnostic tests. The accuracy of tissue-of-origin (TOO) prediction for 3,762 cancer samples across cancer types was 0.79 (95% CI 0.64 - 0.91). Among six cancer types, colorectal cancers had the highest accuracy, and liver & bile duct cancers had the lowest, although the difference was statistically insignificant (0.89 (95% CI 0.79-0.97) vs. 0.68 (95% CI 0.40-0.90)). Additionally, cases were most frequently misclassified as colorectal cancer (Table 1). Lastly, two studies reported increased prediction accuracies when two sites of origin were assigned rather than a single site. The information for localizing TOO was derived from methylation patterns of cfDNA in two studies, fragmentation profiles of cfDNA in another study, and protein markers in the other research. Interpretation: Our results demonstrate that the primary site of cancers was accurately discerned in 79% of cases by MCED tests. However, the performance varies across cancer types. Further research on performance according to cancer stages and in combination with other molecular profiling is warranted. Table 1.
