About

Evidence-based screening approaches have contributed to improved patient outcomes, and research continues to develop and evaluate the potential of new strategies for early cancer detection. However, there are a number of challenges related to ensuring effective, high-quality screening. This workshop examined current issues in cancer screening, featuring invited presentations and panel discussions on topics such as:

Key gaps in the evidence base for cancer screening, including assessing potential benefits and risks
Opportunities and challenges in developing, validating, and implementing new technologies for cancer screening
Strategies to help patients understand the benefits, risks, and costs of cancer screening and participate in shared decision-making with their care team
Opportunities to reduce disparities in cancer morbidity and mortality by facilitating patient access to high-quality screening and follow-up care
