UNC Lineberger is enrolling about 2,000 North Carolinians (ages 45–75) in the Vanguard Study to evaluate blood-based, multi-cancer detection tests that could screen for several cancers at once; while promising, these assays are not FDA-approved and not yet ready for routine screening, with results guiding a larger nationwide trial and potential future changes to cancer screening.
Virginia researchers are recruiting participants aged 45-75 with no recent cancer diagnosis for a three-year study testing a new multi-cancer detection method that could screen for 10 types of cancer, aiming to improve early detection and promote cancer screening in the community.
