Current guidelines call for screening for only five types of cancer, and in each case for one type of cancer per screen. This means that there are no screening tests available for the majority of cancers, and far too often cancer is only detected once it has reached a later stage with much lower prognosis and more difficult to treat compared to when cancer is detected earlier. Identification of tumors early, prior to metastasis and increased mutational burden, should translate to reduced mortality and morbidity, and early cancer detection, particularly for multiple cancers in a single non-invasive test, offers the potential for significant improvement in outcomes. But validating the impact of such tests requires considerable evaluation, and detection of early cancer signals in asymptomatic patients is much more challenging than looking for a specific type of cancer in patients at high risk for that cancer. Lengthy clinical trials may require fixing the algorithm for scoring results, whereas these tests are regularly being improved over time. Cost will also be important, and the most informative assays may involve multiple categories of biomarkers, which are likely to be more expensive than tests based on a single biomarker class. This program will examine and discuss both the opportunities and challenges in this rapidly changing field which has the potential to be highly disruptive of the current paradigm for cancer screening.
