The EDRN has played a crucial role in changing the culture and the ways people conduct biomarker studies. The EDRN proposed biomarker developmental guidelines and biomarker pivotal trial study design standards, created biomarker reference sets and functioned as an unbiased broker for the field, implemented the most rigorous blinding policy in the biomarker field, developed an array of statistical and computational tools for early-detection biomarker evaluations, and developed a multidisciplinary team-science approach. We reviewed these contributions made by the EDRN and their impacts on maturing the field. Future challenges and opportunities in cancer early-detection biomarker translational research are discussed, particularly in strengthening biomarker discovery pipeline and conducting more efficient biomarker validation studies.See all articles in this CEBP Focus section, "NCI Early Detection Research Network Making Cancer Detection Possible." Immunogenic cell death (ICD) is a tumor cell death involving both innate and adaptive immune responses. Given published findings that oxaliplatin, but not irinotecan, drives ICD, we investigated whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the ICD pathway are associated with the efficacy of oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Two randomized clinical trials data were analyzed discovery cohort, FOLFOX/bevacizumab arm (MAVERICC); validation cohort, FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab arm (TRIBE); and two control cohorts, FOLFIRI/bevacizumab arms (both trials). Genomic DNA extracted from blood samples was genotyped. Ten SNPs in the ICD pathway were tested for associations with clinical outcomes. In total, 648 patients were included. In the discovery cohort, three SNPs were significa
