Abstract

The development and implementation of a multicancer early detection (MCED) test that is effective and affordable has the potential to change cancer care systems around the world. However, careful consideration is needed within the context of different health care settings (both low- and middle-income countries and high-income countries) to roll out an MCED test and promote equity in access.

Keywords: classification; developing countries; early detection of cancer; genetic testing; health priorities; public health; technology; vulnerable populations.
