SCOUT
(Screening and Carcinogenesis: Origins in Unique Tissues)
Decoding Cancer’s Beginnings for Healthier Tomorrow
The SCOUT theme aims to elucidate early molecular and cellular events driving carcinogenesis across diverse tissue types, with emphasis on Asian-centric cancers. By identifying precursor lesions and predictive biomarkers, the theme seeks to improve early detection, prevention, and risk stratification strategies for improved patient outcomes.
Advancing Early Detection & Understanding of Multi-Tissue Carcinogenesis
The SCOUT theme focuses on advancing the early detection and mechanistic understanding of multi-tissue carcinogenesis. Its core objective is to uncover early molecular determinants and tissue-specific factors that initiate malignancy and to leverage these insights to develop predictive tools for early intervention. The theme is also broadened to encompass molecular indicators of treatment-related toxicities.
