Exploring Barriers and Facilitators to the Buy-In of Multi-Cancer Early Detection Tests
Although MCED tests are viewed as promising, their adoption requires addressing key barriers, including emotional, financial, and logistical challenges. The identified communication domains, and the preliminary communication tool informed by these findings, provide an initial framework for supporting patient-centered discussions and integration of MCED screening into clinical practice. Future research should focus on testing and refining the tool to evaluate its effectiveness in diverse populations.
