Early detection of cancer is critical for improving patient outcomes and decreasing mortality. In this collection of CME-accredited activities, expert faculty discuss the latest professional recommendations for cancer screening and strategies for overcoming barriers to screening, particularly among underserved populations. Further, faculty will examine emerging testing technologies such as blood- and stool-based tests that detect tumor DNA with greater sensitivity and specificity than currently available tests. Other programs in this collection will cover novel technologies for other cancer types, such as liquid biopsy blood tests that can detect residual disease in patients with early-stage CRC, breast, and lung cancers.
