✅   Assessment of the impact of multi-cancer early detection test screening intervals on late-stage cancer at diagnosis and mortality using a state-transition model

tech

Objective Multi-cancer early detection (MCED) tests are novel technologies that detect cancer signals from a broad set of cancer types using a single blood sample. The objective of this study was to estimate the effect of screening with an MCED test at different intervals on cancer stage at diagnosis and mortality endpoints. Design The current model is based on a previously published state-transition model that estimated the outcomes of a screening programme using an MCED test when added to usual care for persons aged 50–79. Herein, we expand this analysis to model the time of cancer diagnosis and patient mortality with MCED screening undertaken using different screening schedules.
