ACS Webinar: ACS Expanding the Colorectal Cancer Screening Toolbox with Blood-based Screening
From the American Cancer Society’s Emerging Strategies in Early Detection Webinar Series
Blood-based colorectal cancer (CRC) screening tests are emerging as a new option for patients and providers. This session from the American Cancer Society, hosted July 28, 2026, provides clinicians with a practical overview of the current evidence supporting blood-based CRC screening, including test performance, benefits, and limitations.
Participants explore how blood-based tests compare with guideline-preferred screening modalities, identify which patients may be appropriate candidates based on individual risk factors and screening history, and discuss the critical role of timely diagnostic follow-up after abnormal results. The session also highlights effective communication strategies to help patients make informed screening decisions, improve screening adherence, and support appropriate follow-up care.
