Title: Improving Cancer Screening Efficiency: Advances in Blood-based Multi-cancer Early Detection
Description: Approximately 50,000 incident cancer cases are reported in Veterans Affairs (VA) Central Cancer Registry (VACCR) each year. Utilization of guideline-recommended cancer screening paradigms allows for timely initiation of therapy and superior clinical outcomes for many of these patients. However, only four screening methodologies are guideline-recommended, and patient adherence to regular screening is suboptimal. Cancers responsible for 71% of cancer deaths have no recommended screening methodologies.
Technical advances in next-generation sequencing and machine learning algorithms have transformed our ability to detect cancer-derived cell-free DNA in the blood. Utilization of minimally-invasive blood-based assays that can detect and localize multiple cancers have the potential to dramatically improve the efficiency of cancer detection. This activity will provide an overview of trial data related to the development of a blood-based multi-cancer early detection test.

Description: Each year, the VA manages more than 7,700 patients with newly diagnosed lung cancer. Small Cell Lung Cancer accounts for about 13% of all patients with lung cancer but is characterized by more aggressive disease and a higher mortality rate than NSCLC. Most SCLC patients are diagnosed in the metastatic stage, described as ES-SCLC. For more than 30 years, the standard treatment has been combination platinum chemotherapy. Recently, the approval of checkpoint inhibitors for the first-line treatment of ES-SCLC has improved survival for ES-SCLC patients. In this talk, we will describe the results of the Phase 3 CASPIAN study evaluating the use of durvalumab and chemotherapy in ES-SCLC.
