S9 E11: Honoring Veterans Through Early Cancer Detection
This Veterans Day, we’re shining a light on care for those who’ve served.
Dr. Elizabeth (Betsy) O’Donnell, Director of the Multi-Cancer Early Detection Clinic at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, joins the PQI Podcast to discuss the Sentinel Study—a Department of Defense–sponsored clinical trial offering multi-cancer early detection (MCED) testing to U.S. veterans.
Through a single blood draw, the test can screen for more than 50 types of cancer, addressing the urgent need for improved screening among veterans, who face a cancer risk nearly 20% higher than the general population.
Dr. O’Donnell shares how this innovative study combines science, service, and compassion to bring life-saving research to those who’ve served—and what it could mean for the future of oncology care.
Listen to learn more about:
- How early detection technology is transforming the future of cancer care
- Why veterans face unique cancer risks linked to their service
- What makes the Sentinel Study a model for accessible, equitable screening
- The personal motivation that drives Dr. O’Donnell’s work
