mPATH™ Doubles Colorectal Cancer Screening Rates
In a large randomized controlled trial funded by the National Cancer Institute, mPATH™ doubled the number of patients who completed screening for colorectal cancer. Patients in this study faced significant barriers to care: one-third had limited literacy and half had annual incomes below $20,000. Despite these barriers, mPATH™ was able to double cancer screening and found over twice as many patients with pre-cancerous polyps.

Electronic Health Record Data Misses Two-Thirds Of Patients Who Need Lung Cancer Screening. mPATH™ Finds Them All.
Whether or not a patient needs lung cancer screening depends on their age, how much they have smoked, and when (if ever) they quit smoking. In one of our pilot studies, mPATH™ found over 330 patients who needed lung cancer screening. Of these patients, the Electronic Health Record only identified 35% of them as needing screening. Relying on the Electronic Health Record alone would miss two-thirds of people who could benefit from this life saving test.
