Description of Screenable Events.

Event Name Description
Initial Diagnosis When a new patient presents to clinic, the doctors will review their medical history and case presentation to determine if they may be eligible for one of the open trials. Based on the referral note and physical exam, the doctors will be able to enter the initial meeting with an idea of potential trials for that specific patient, whether they be surgical trials, treatment trials, or patient quality of life (QOL) trials.
Maintenance After a patient has received their initial treatment intervention, they may be eligible for treatment trials or other trials focused on social support.
Progression If a patient was never found to have “no evidence of malignancy (NEM)”, and their cancer persists or advances, their treatment plan may change, which could make them eligible for a new trial.
Recurrence If a patient is found to have malignancy after being categorized as “NEM”, based on their cancer type and characteristics, they may be eligible for a myriad of clinical trials.
