The issue with non-imaging early cancer detection seems to be false positives.

Afaik, medical regulatory agencies have been... resistant... to allowing marketing of tests.

The thinking seems to be "If people get a positive result, they may opt for interventions that are more harmful than their current disease state."

But, to me, that seems to leave unmentioned the fact that there's a finite "untreatable" cancer progression line, and while that's extending to later disease states, it's still a helluva lot easier to treat earlier.
