Access Barriers Hinder Preventive Cancer Care for Nevadans

Access Barriers Hinder Preventive Cancer Care for Nevadans

In Nevada, many residents face significant barriers to accessing preventive cancer care, particularly colorectal cancer screenings. Factors such as work schedules, transportation challenges, and limited access to healthcare facilities contribute to delays in screenings. New noninvasive screening options, like blood-based tests, are being explored to reduce these barriers and improve early detection rates.

GRAIL's Galleri Test Shows Significant Increase in Early Cancer Detection at ASCO 2026

GRAIL's Galleri Test Shows Significant Increase in Early Cancer Detection at ASCO 2026

GRAIL, Inc. presented the results of its PATHFINDER 2 study at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, showcasing the Galleri multi-cancer early detection (MCED) test. The study involved 35,878 participants aged 50 and older, demonstrating that the Galleri test significantly increased cancer detection rates when used alongside standard screenings for breast, colorectal, cervical, and lung cancers. The test detected 71% of new cancers in stages I-III, with a 6.5-fold increase in detection rates. The Galleri test also showed a high specificity of 99.6%, indicating a low false-positive rate. The study highlights the potential of the Galleri test to transform early cancer detection and improve treatment outcomes.

NYU Langone Health Study Reveals Widening Income Disparities in Lung Cancer Survival

NYU Langone Health Study Reveals Widening Income Disparities in Lung Cancer Survival

Researchers from NYU Langone Health's Perlmutter Cancer Center presented findings at the 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting, highlighting a significant increase in the survival gap between high- and low-income counties since the introduction of lung cancer screening guidelines in 2013. The study, led by Dr. Daniel J. Becker, analyzed nearly 1 million lung cancer cases diagnosed between 2005 and 2022. It found that while lung cancer screening has improved early diagnosis and survival rates across all income groups, the benefits have been disproportionately greater in wealthier communities. This has resulted in a 12.2 percent larger survival gap in the screening era compared to the years before the guidelines were adopted.
