Framingham Longitudinal Study (USUHS)
Abstract
DoD Cancer Moonshot Program - DoD Framingham DoD’s Cancer Moonshot requirement is a mission of the Murtha Cancer Center (MCC) at USU under the authority of a tri-federal Memorandum of Agreement signed July 2016 by the Acting Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs (DoD), the Under Secretary of Health, Department of Veterans Affairs(VHA), and the Acting Director of the National Cancer Institute (NIH), for a tri-federal program of Clinical Proteogenomics Cancer Research. DoD’s Cancer Moonshot promotes readiness and mission accomplishment of the active duty service member (ADSM) force, as well as military beneficiaries, retirees, and veterans. There are about 1,000 ASDMs who are stricken with a new cancer diagnosis annually, and MCC serves as the DoD’s Health Affairs-approved Center of Excellence for cancer care and research for these ADSMs. MCC’s mission is to bring translational cancer research to all patients in order to improve their health and mission performance, and to help prevent, screen, detect, and treat cancer; minimize side effects of cancer treatments;, and return to duty ADSMs stricken with cancer, as well all other DoD beneficiaries. DoD’s Cancer Moonshot initiative allows for the provision of state-of-the-art molecular analysis of tumors and blood of cancer patients which will result in increased force readiness through more targeted treatment of cancers with fewer side effects, as well as better screening for cancer risk and development. FY19 Accomplishments: - Completed all mass spectrometry proteomic analysis of Framingham 1 specimens (approximately 900) - Analyzed Framingham 1 data, identified important novel scientific findings, and presented these findings at four national and international meetings in FY19 including MHSRS 2019. - Working on Framingham 1 publication manuscript - Identified Framingham 2 and 3 serum specimens and began process of mass spectrometry workflow - Identified Framingham 4 organ site (pancreatic cancer) and began scientific protocol development with combined DoD / NCI team
