Welcome to Plenary Session.

I'm your host, Dr. Vinay Prasad.

I'm a practicing hematologist oncologist and I'm associate professor of medicine.

I'm interested in issues at the intersection of medicine, oncology, and health policy,

and that's what you're going to get on this podcast.

Welcome to Season 2.

Welcome to Plenary Session Reup Edition.

In this bonus episode, I'm going to take a little bit of audio you might have missed and bring it to your attention.

This is a discussion Dr. Adam Obly and I had on cancer screening, and I need a link so I can send people so that they can come to a simple discussion where we teach basic principles of cancer screening.

Now, in the course of this audio tape, I made one misspeak about NLST.

I said that trial did not capture the full diagnostic cascade or odyssey, and that remains correct.

Although in some instances, I was incorrect to say that he captured just the first diagnostic test.

It might have been the first couple.

But either way, the critical point is, was the entire Odyssey captured?

And the answer was, it often wasn't.

But first, a thanks.
