The development of minimally invasive approaches to screen for multiple tumor types at one time could potentially improve health outcomes; however, the clinical utility of multicancer detection (MCD) testing has yet to be established. The National Academies National Cancer Policy Forum held a workshop in October 2024 to explore the current scientific understanding and clinical use of MCD testing, as well as implications for cancer care and outcomes for all patients.
