Cancer screenings are essential for early detection of some of the most common cancers, but unfortunately early screening tests have only been developed for five types of cancer. This leaves most types without a method of detection prior to symptom onset. However, new multi-cancer early detection (MCED) tests that can detect multiple types of cancer with a single blood test are available or in development. Early detection assays are also an essential tool to detect recurrence or metastasis when a cancer is in remission after therapy. When added to existing cancer screening tools, MCED tests have the potential to change the paradigm of cancer detection. Clinicians require education that equips them with the knowledge and skills to incorporate these tests into practice.
This CME Outfitters Live and OnDemand will feature expert faculty discussing the benefits and limitations of current cancer screening approaches as well as available and emerging MCED tests and the considerations that guide the use of these tests.
At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:
- Explain the benefits and limitations of the current cancer screening approach.
- Assess the emerging MCED tests in development.
- Recognize the clinical considerations regarding emerging blood tests for cancer detection.
