Advances in Colorectal Cancer Detection: Exploring the Role of Blood-Based Tests
Description
Guest: Aasma Shaukat, MD, MPH
Blood-based colorectal cancer screening is entering a new era with FDA-approved and emerging tests like Shield and Simple Screen. Alongside updated stool-based options such as Cologuard Plus and CRC-PREVENT, clinicians now have a broader landscape of noninvasive tools to consider and discuss with their patients. Joining Dr. Peter Buch to talk about current recommendations and potential future directions for colorectal cancer screening is Dr. Aasma Shaukat. Dr. Shaukat is the Robert M. and Mary H. Glickman Professor of Medicine and a Professor of Population Health at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, as well as the Director of Outcomes Research in the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at NYU Langone Health. She's also a co-author of a recent review on blood tests for colorectal cancer.
