Summary
Project Summary/Abstract Cancer screening can detect cancer early and reduce mortality. However, high false positive rates and low sensitivities of lung (LC) and ovarian cancer (OC) screening result in unnecessary surgeries and missed cancers. Our overarching goal is to develop circulating biochemical biomarkers that reduce the false positive rate of the CT scan for LC and increase the positive predictive value of OC screening in combination with CA125 and trans-vaginal ultrasound (TVUS). We hypothesize that LC and OC patients have different antibody immune responses from subjects with benign
