Comprehensive Screening for Early Cancer Detection in Individuals With Genetic Predisposition.
Article in JCO precision oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo evaluate the effectiveness of a comprehensive screening program for individuals with genetic predisposition to cancer, focusing on early detection and improved treatment outcomes through systematic clinical, instrumental, and laboratory monitoring of pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P/LP) variant carriers. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe registry screening program included two groups: (1) patients with cancer with confirmed germline P/LP variants associated with cancer predisposition, and (2) healthy individuals carrying germline P/LP variants predisposing to cancer development. In total, 816 participants were included. Participants underwent routine screening, including medical history recording, and instrumental and laboratory investigations accompanied by consultations of different specialists. The study compared the age and stage of the disease at the time of cancer diagnosis between healthy P/LP variant carriers (Group A, n = 554) and patients with cancer (Group B, n = 262).
resultsAmong the 554 healthy P/LP variant carriers in Group A, 57 patients of cancer (10.2%) were identified, predominantly breast and ovarian cancers (Group A1). In Group A1, 96.4% of detected cancers were at stages I to II. The average age at diagnosis in Group A1 was 52 ± 12 years, with 35% of patients detected within 6 months, 58% within 1 year, and 7% within 1.5 years after inclusion of an individual into the screening program. In Group B1 (191 patients with breast cancer), 20.9% were diagnosed at stages III to IV. Notably, 27% of aggressive molecular biological subtypes of breast cancer (Luminal B and triple-negative) were identified at stage I in Group A1, and the most common
conclusionThe comprehensive screening program demonstrated the effectiveness of early detection of malignancies in individuals with genetic predisposition to cancer development. The identification of a significant proportion of early-stage cancers, particularly aggressive subtypes, highlights the importance of tailored screening strategies for the cohort of patients at high risk of cancer development.
