Societal views on using risk-based innovations to inform cancer screening and referral policies: findings from three community juries.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recent advances mean that innovations are emerging that enable better stratification of individuals based on their risk of cancer so that screening or diagnostic investigations can be targeted to those at greatest need. We explored the views of the public, from a societal perspective, of using such risk-based innovations to identify people's cancer risk and allocating healthcare accordingly.

Methods

We conducted three community juries, each with 7-9 participants. Participants were informed about the topic and potential novel risk-based innovations through a series of presentations from experts and discussions. Polygenic risk scores, geodemographic segmentation, continuous monitoring of biomarkers, minimally invasive tests, artificial intelligence analysis of medic
