Introduction

Late-stage cancer survival rates decrease dramatically because of the lack of effective therapeutic options compared to early-stage cancers (Chen et al. 2020; Prigerson et al. 2015). The average 5-year survival at the late stage is 26%; on the other hand, the average 5-year survival at the early stage is 91% (Siegel et al. 2018). Thus, screening and early tumor detection are essential for proper cancer management.

There are presently screening tests for limited cancer types, namely, colorectal (Pickhardt et al. 2011), cervical (Partridge et al. 2010), breast (Van den Biggelaar et al. 2008), lung (Beer 2020), and prostate (Brawer 2000). However, the efficacy and availability of such tests are questioned (Chen et al. 2020). Table 1 illustrates cancer screening recommendations in the USA, at present.
