The Department of Defense (DoD), represented by USU/MCCRP, is participating in the NCI Cancer Screening Research Network (CSRN). The CSRN consists of seven civilianhealthcare systems, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the DoD. The first study the CSRN is undertaking is a pilot study, known as the Vanguard Study (on Multi-Cancer Detection), which will enroll approximately 18,000 total volunteers over four years. Multi-Cancer Detection tests are purported to screen for several types of cancers using only a blood sample. The study will address if detection with this method leads to better outcomes and more lives saved. The results of the Vanguard study will inform the design of a larger randomized controlled trial involving about 225,000 total people.
