0231_ABSMC_Multi Cancer Early Detection_Live
Course Description:
Dhruva et al. (2023) state that "in recent years, blood tests that look for circulating tumor DNA and biomarkers (termed liquid biopsies) have been developed...these tests are being explored for diagnosis of suspected cancer, cancer surveillance after treatment, response to therapy, and chemotherapeutic selection. Most importantly, these blood tests are also being explored as multicancer early detection (MCED) tests for cancer screening in asymptomatic persons. Before US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval, insurer coverage, and clinical adoption of these technologies, rigorously conducted randomized clinical trials (RCTs) must be conducted demonstrating reductions in all-cause mortality to ensure that potential harms associated with these novel technologies do not exceed potential benefits." While multi-cancer early detection (MCED) tests have the potential to find more than one type of cancer from a single sample of blood, thus adding an innovative screening option, there is not yet sufficient evidence to know if MCED tests are useful. This presentation explores the current state of the science on MCEDs and invites discussion on how usefulness might be evaluated.
Target Audience
Physicians (MD or DO)
Learning Objectives
After completion of this session, learners will be able to:
1. Describe what MCED tests are and how they work.
2. Evaluate current evidence for the effectiveness and usefulness of MCED tests.
3. Demonstrate the ability to counsel patients regarding MCED test use and interpretation of results based on currently available evidence.
