When a screening test misses a cancer, we should know. Linking every negative result to the cancer registry and publishing what was missed, by stage, should be a condition of use.
Cervical and breast programmes audit interval cancers routinely; commercial blood tests do not. Propose that authorisation or reimbursement for MCED and single-cancer blood tests requires registry linkage of all negatives, with annual publication of stage-specific sensitivity, interval cancer rates, and test-negative cancers by subtype.
