The evolution of cervical cancer screening: from traditional methods to multicancer early detection (MCED) innovations. This figure illustrates a four-layered analysis of cervical cancer screening strategies, beginning with traditional screening methods (layer 1), progressing through the barriers to these traditional screenings (layer 2), the potential benefits of MCED tests (layer 3), and concluding with the challenges associated with implementing MCED tests (layer 4). Each layer employs brief descriptions to represent key concepts, methods, barriers, and benefits, connected through a series of arrows to demonstrate the flow and relationships between layers. The figure concludes with a call to action, pointing toward the need for further research and pilot programs in the journey toward the effective implementation of MCED tests in cervical cancer screening.
