New technologies and improved understanding of the genesis and
progression of various cancers have added to the enthusiasm for
potential new strategies to improve screening and early detection
of cancer. Research is also under way to evaluate refinements in
current screening approaches, including determining optimal
screening intervals, the ages at which screening should begin and
end, as well as more specific estimates of the potential risks and
benefits of screening for certain populations, such as racial and
ethnic minority populations and people who have elevated risk for
specific cancers. However, there remain significant challenges to
developing, validating, and effectively implementing new cancer
screening approaches. Guidelines for screening issued by different
organizations vary considerably with no clear way of deciding which
guidelines are most trustworthy. There is also a need to improve
access to high-quality cancer screening and follow-up care,
particularly in low-resource communities and among populations who
are underserved or have numerous barriers to receiving care. To
examine the challenges and opportunities related to improving
current approaches to cancer screening, as well as the evidence
base for novel cancer screening methods, the National Cancer Policy
Forum held a workshop, Advancing Progress in the Development and
Implementation of Effective, High-Quality Cancer Screening, on
March 2-3, 2020, in Washington, DC. This workshop convened a broad
range of experts, including clinicians, researchers, statisticians,
and patient advocates, as well as representatives of health care
organizations, academic medical centers, insurers, and federal
agencies. This publication summarizes the presentations and
discussions of the workshop and highlights suggestions from
individual participants regarding how to improve cancer screening.
