Target Audience

The educational design of this activity addresses the needs of family practice physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants.

Program Description

This CME Jeopardy™ educational activity is designed to provide an engaging and informative learning session on blood-based multi-cancer early detection (MCED) screening in the primary care setting. The program will begin with a didactic presentation of key content related to gaps and limitations of current guideline-recommended cancer screening modalities, the science and data behind MCED tests, and practical information on the potential use of MCED screening in clinical practice. After the didactic session, all learners will use their audience response system keypads to participate in a modified “Jeopardy” game in which their responses to questions about MCED screening will determine which team emerges as the winner.

Educational Objectives

After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:

1. Describe the role of blood-based cancer screening in addressing the limitations of current guideline-recommended screening modalities and improving early cancer detection rates
2. Explain the use of methylated cell-free DNA for the early detection of various cancer types and their tissue of origin
3. Discuss recent clinical trial and real-world data on available and emerging blood-based MCED screening tests
4. Integrate MCED screening into primary care practice, including patient eligibility criteria, shared decision-making, and appropriate follow-up pathways
