Randomise people through the national health system, post the blood kit, and read cancer deaths off the registry. That is ten times cheaper per participant than a classic trial.
Swedish registry-based RCTs (TASTE, DETO2X) showed pragmatic randomisation at national scale at a fraction of usual cost. Propose an MCED trial that randomises through screening call/recall, draws blood at existing phlebotomy or mobile units, and uses cancer registry and death-certificate linkage for endpoints, with no in-person study visits.

NHS-Galleri is the trial that will decide whether a blood test for many cancers at once should be offered by a health system. Its endpoint is a reduction in late-stage cancer rather than deaths, so even a positive result leaves the mortality question to be settled by longer follow-up.
