New screening technologies could encourage them to prioritize their screenings.  Two-thirds of adults who are behind on at least one routine cancer screening say they would be more likely to prioritize screening if there were innovative options such as an at-home test, a different/less invasive test or screening, a faster test or a less frequent test.

Multi-cancer early detection (MCED) testing—blood tests which have the potential to identify the presence of cancer for more than one cancer at a time—could be the key to unlocking better health outcomes for all. But awareness of MCED tests remains relatively stagnant from last year, with 42% saying they have heard of MCED tests but don’t know much about them. After reading more information about MCED tests, however, 75% of participants indicated they would take an MCED test.
