<br/></a>Fred Hutch is leading a new <a target="_blank" href="https://prevention.cancer.gov/major-programs/cancer-screening-research-network-csrn">Cancer Screening Research Network</a> (CSRN), which will examine the effectiveness of new tests that aim to detect early-stage cancer. Initial studies will examine <a target="_blank" href="https://prevention.cancer.gov/major-programs/multi-cancer-detection-mcd-research">Multi-Cancer Detection assays</a> (MCDs), which identify cells in blood or other bodily fluids that could indicate early-stage cancer. If proven successful, these tests could reshape cancer research and treatment. These efforts will be led in part by <a target="_blank" href="https://www.fredhutch.org/en/faculty-lab-directory/anderson-garnet.html">Garnet Anderson, Ph.D.</a>, senior vice president and director of Fred Hutch’s Public Health Sciences Division.

<br/></a>Months after giving birth to her second child, Natalie Phelps was diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer at 38. Phelps, now a vocal patient advocate, has been treated at Fred Hutch’s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.fredhutch.org/en/diseases/colon-cancer/treatment.html">Colorectal Cancer Specialty Clinic</a>. Though colorectal cancer mostly affects people over 50, it is now predicted to become the leading cause of cancer deaths in people ages 20 to 49. Following these findings, the recommended age for a person’s first colonoscopy was lowered from age 50 to 45 in 2021.

Dr. Gujral believes this platform will be beneficial for rare cancers that often receive less research efforts. As part of this effort, Gujral also launched <a target="_blank" href="https://rarecancerprogram.com/">TRACER</a>, the Transformative Rare Cancer Initiative, which will develop resources to fast-forward rare cancer research using a $2.5 million grant from the FDA.

<br/></a>A new study published in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cell.com/cell-reports-medicine/current">Cell Reports Medicine</a> shows that higher levels of T cells, which are cancer-fighting immune cells, are more likely to improve treatment outcomes for Merkel cell carcinoma. Higher levels of T cells are critical to the success of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) which help immune systems fight off tumors. Potential treatments to bolster patients’ responsiveness to ICIs such as adoptive cell therapies, where patients receive T cells genetically engineered to help attack tumors, are currently undergoing clinical trials.
