LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Learning Objectives for Module #1
1. Describe current recommendations for cancer screening and early detection.
2. Explain how DNA methylation from circulating cell-free DNA samples in combination with liquid biopsy identify circulating epigenetic biomarkers of clinical importance to enable early detection.
3. Evaluate the comparative advantages of multi-cancer screening testing as a complement to imaging and biopsy-based, single-cancer screening methods in reducing cancer morbidity and mortality through earlier detection.

Learning Objectives for Module #2
1. Analyze the impact and value of traditional cancer screening, emerging diagnostics, and MCED testing for cancer
2. Illustrate the role of the managed care professional in integrating multi-cancer screening testing into patient care and workflow in the primary care setting.
