Patient Preferences for Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) Screening Tests.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Emerging blood-based multi-cancer early detection (MCED) tests can detect a variety of cancer types across stages with a range of sensitivity, specificity, and ability to predict the origin of the cancer signal. However, little is known about the general US population's preferences for MCED tests.

Objective

To quantify preferences for MCED tests among US adults aged 50-80 years using a discrete choice experiment (DCE).

Methods

To quantify preferences for attributes of blood-based MCED tests, an online DCE was conducted with five attributes (true positives, false negatives, false positives, likelihood of the cancer type unknown, number of cancer types detected), among the US population aged 50-80 years recruited via online panels and social media. Data were
