ACS Releases Report on Current State of Cancer Screening

On November 19, the American Cancer Society (ACS) published a report in CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians discussing the status of cancer screening and proposing key areas where further attention is needed. ACS highlighted five key focus areas to help cancer screening realize its full potential:

• Improving the implementation of existing screening modalities
• Improving the quality and performance of currently available screening tests
• Developing entirely new screening strategies to screen for cancers currently amenable to screening
• Developing increasingly refined, risk-based screening strategies
• Developing effective ways to screen for cancers for which screening tests do not exist.
