Public Preferences for Emerging Cancer Screening Modalities: A Systematic Review of Discrete Choice Experiments.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Early detection of cancer reduces mortality and morbidity, but conventional screening methods often face challenges such as invasiveness, limited accessibility and high resource demands. Emerging cancer screening technologies could overcome these barriers, yet their adoption depends heavily on public acceptance. This systematic review synthesises evidence from discrete choice experiment (DCE) studies examining population preferences for emerging cancer screening technologies.

Methods

A systematic review was conducting following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science and EconLit were systematically searched for studies published up to August 2025. Eligible studies employed D
