EMPOWERMENT AND EQUITY FIGHTING CANCER

Inova Saville Cancer Screening and Prevention Center

The Saville Center, part of the Inova Schar Cancer Institute, opened in 2022 and focuses on cancer screening and prevention while also seeking to eliminate barriers for underserved, under-resourced communities.

With the backing of a robust research infrastructure within the Inova Schar Cancer Clinical Trials Office, some of these research studies include:

Launching groundbreaking new research using nasal swabs for lung cancer screening under the direction of Kei Suzuki, MD, aimed at addressing potential gaps in current screening guidelines

Creating a registry study to follow patients with military burn pit exposure using state-of-the-art detection methods including radiographic imaging, blood-based tumor markers and genetic profiling to determine if there is a link to specific medical conditions
