The goal of this unique trans-Atlantic agreement is to find lethal cancers as they are forming so they can be treated more effectively. Survival increases significantly when the disease is treated at an early stage.

The collaboration also seeks to accelerate progress by breaking down barriers for scientists, including:

• A lack of cohorts of sufficient size and a shortage of clinical samples available for research
• Development and deployment of new technologies
• Lack of understanding of the biology of early cancer and technologies to detect its features

2023 session topics:

• Inequalities in cancer detection and diagnosis
• Risk stratification to inform early detection
• Understanding pre-cancers to enable early detection
• Multicancer early detection – beyond ctDNA
