Pretty decent detection rates on a lot of various cancers. Costs about a grand. Makes me think about doing it

There's a UTI treatment (methenamine, taken orally) that relies on converting to formaldehyde in the body. Surprisingly, the few studies that have been done show no carcinogenic significance. As opposed to inhaling it which definitely did.

Reply to Death with dignity by Avocadoexpresss
It looks like Oregon's requirements are that the patient be 18+, diagnosed terminal with six months, and able to communicate themselves that this is what they want. I've seen other states that must have two doctors sign off on the decision. I feel like no one deserves to suffer and if they want out, we should give them a dignified and painless way to do so, and guidelines like these are a good start.
