Thursday, September 28, 2023

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Cancer screening tests are used to help find cancer before a person has any symptoms, when it may be easier to treat. Multicancer Early Detection (MCED) technologies are emerging as a promising screening tool to not only detect cancer early but also detect cancers that do not currently have an established screening test. MCEDs are a new technology, and long-term results from randomized clinical trials, the standard for evaluating test efficacy and positive patient outcomes, are not yet available. While MCEDs hold great potential to decrease the mortality rates of cancers, definitive clinical evidence about their benefits and risks will not be available for several years.

Key Points: 
  • The Multicancer Early Detection (MCED) Consortium releases a clinical utility framework to assist decision-makers in making judgments about the benefits and risks of MCED technologies.
  • Multicancer Early Detection (MCED) technologies are emerging as a promising screening tool to not only detect cancer early but also detect cancers that do not currently have an established screening test.
  • MCEDs are a new technology, and long-term results from randomized clinical trials, the standard for evaluating test efficacy and positive patient outcomes, are not yet available.
  • There is a need to understand the range of study designs and data sources to understand the risks & benefits of MCEDs.
