The Paradigm-Shifting Power of Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED): Optimizing Patient Outcomes through Early and Equitable Diagnosis
Released: 10/24/2024 Expires: 10/31/2025 (subject to change)
CE for this activity will not be available after this date.
This activity includes closed captioning.
Overview One of the leading challenges in the ongoing quest to optimize cancer outcomes is the empiric hurdle to early diagnosis. It is a demonstrable reality, confirmed across a multitude of population-based studies and decades of epidemiologic data, that survival diminished in direct correlation with advancing stage at diagnosis; and importantly, the converse is also true – survival rates significantly improve with earlier stage diagnoses, thus making the early detection of cancer perhaps the seminal prerequisite to translating the power of therapeutic advances into real-world improvements in patient outcomes across tumor types. In this course, a primary care NP and an oncology NP guide the learner through the use and interpretation of multi-cancer early detection (MCED) screening using case studies.
Objectives
Identify fundamental clinical practice gaps in the traditional cancer screening paradigm and the consequent need for optimized approaches.
Review prominent risk factors for the development of cancer, with an incisive focus on how risk level informs the clinical utility of multi-cancer early detection (MCED) screening.
Evaluate the evidentiary base for current and emerging MCED screening modalities, highlighting their cancer detection mechanisms and key efficacy parameters.
Recognize potential challenges in the clinical implementation of MCEDs.
Develop patient-centric cancer screening protocols using MCEDs that integrate the latest data with best practices for interpretation of results, specialist referral, and promotion of equitable access.
