Multicancer Screening Tests
A March Health Affairs article anticipates considerations around
coverage and access to multicancer screening tests.
The technology of cancer precision medicine tests is being expanded to
include novel approaches to screening for multiple cancers in older
adults without additional known cancer risk factors.
New multicancer early detection tests can screen for up to fifty cancers
simultaneously, based on a simple blood draw.
Patricia Deverka and colleagues argue in their Policy Insight piece for
clarifying how payers evaluate the tests' clinical validity, utility,
and economic value
.
They also highlight the importance of systematic collection of
real-world evidence.
The authors outline steps that may help provide the necessary evidence
for payers and ensure equitable patient access to these screening tests.
These include developing more clarity regarding how payers are likely to
evaluate screening tests, adapting economic value assessment and payer
coverage evidence evaluation for screening tests, and collecting
real-world data as part of test development and early adoption of
laboratory-developed tests.
