What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this study is to determine the feasibility and participant satisfaction associated with a more intensive cancer screening regimen in veterans exposed to burn pits. The study results may describe the clinical and psychosocial impact such screening has on this potential population. The study hopes to share the premalignant and malignant findings identified and follow-up healthcare utilization associated with high-intensity cancer screening during the approximately 3-year study period (three annual screening assessments and an additional year of follow-up to determine participants' cancer status). The study will also explore the performance of new tools (nasal brush, multi-cancer detection blood test, and radiomic analysis) in detecting the development of cancer during the study period.
