Early cancer detection or prevention

Future Trends in Cancer Prevention and Interception in Cancer Predisposition Syndromes: Leveraging Insights From High-Risk Populations.

Blood tests may detect cancer before imaging in high-risk families, while vaccines and common drugs show promise for preventing cancer in genetically vulnerable populations.

Liquid biopsy can detect malignancies before radiologic findings in CPS patients; immunoprevention neoantigen vaccines in MMR-deficient tumors show preliminary immunogenicity; metformin in Li-Fraumeni and aspirin in Lynch syndrome demonstrate cancer risk modification in clinical studies. This record was retained from the prior triage attempt for PubMed pipeline handoff.
