The FDA should not approve an ineffective multicancer screening test. Evidence against its approval comes from a recent study by OHSU researchers, who are studying a blood test to detect cancer.
According to coverage from STAT, this blood test screens for over 50 forms of cancer, but its limitations are not yet specified. However, approval of the multicancer screening test could be detrimental to patients if it leads to false positives or unnecessary treatments.
The FDA's decision will have significant implications for the biotech industry and patients alike.
