SUMMARY:PLUGS/MTS Webinar: MCED Screening: A New Era or a New Dilemma?
DESCRIPTION:Description of Program Content:  \nThis presentation will focus on a new generation of blood-based genetic tests that claim to screen for multiple cancers\, with the promise of saving lives by catching cancer early. I will discuss these tests in the context of the history of cancer screening\, the mathematics underlying successful screening test programs\, selected concepts unique to cancer screening vs. other types of screening\, considerations of cost and benefit to cancer screening and these tests specifically\, and past and ongoing research being carried out to better understand the utility of these tests. \nMeasurable Learning Objectives \nAt the end of this activity the participant will be able to: \n1. Describe the concepts of sensitivity\, positive and negative predictive value\, and Number Needed to Screen\, in the context of cancer screening tests.\n2. Compare and contrast several features of traditional cancer screening programs and MCED-based cancer screening tests\n3. Describe the calculation of an Incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio\, expressed in Dollars per Quality-Adjusted Life Year \nPresenter Information: \nGeoffrey Baird\, MD PhD\nChair\, Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology\nUniversity of Washington School of Medicine\, Seattle\, WA \nRegistration link below.
