    Abstract Cancer remains the second leading cause of mortality worldwide, and overall cancer-related deaths are increasing. Despite the survival benefit from early detection, screening has to date targeted only those few organs that harbor tumors of sufficient prevalence to show cost-effectiveness at population levels, leaving most cancer types unscreened. In this perspective overview, a case is made for universal cancer screening as a logical and more inclusive approach with potentially high impact. The centrally important conceptual drivers to universal screening are biological and epidemiological. The shared biology of tumor marker release into a common distant medium, like blood, can be exploited for multi-cancer detection from a single test. And, by aggregating prevalence rates, universal screening allows all cancers (including less common ones) to be included as targets, increases screening efficiency and integration across tumor types, and potentially improves cost-effectiveness over single-organ approaches. The identification of new tumor marker classes with both broad expression across tumor types and site-prediction, remarkable advances in assay technologies, and compelling early clinical data increase the likelihood of actualizing this new paradigm. Multi-organ screening could be achieved by targeting markers within or stemming from the circulation (including blood, urine, saliva, and expired breath) or those exfoliated into common excretory pathways (including the gastrointestinal and female reproductive tracts). Rigorous clinical studies in intended use populations and collaborations between academia, industry, professional societies, and government will be required to bring this lofty vision to a population application.

    Abstract Stool DNA testing has evolved into what is now a highly accurate and well-validated test for the screen detection of colorectal neoplasia. An optimized and automated multi-target stool DNA test (MT-sDNA) has achieved the same high point-sensitivities as reported for colonoscopy and significantly higher sensitivity than by fecal immunochemical blood testing for detection of early-stage cancer and advanced precancer. Thus, MT-sDNA sets a new high criterion standard for the noninvasive screen detection of colorectal neoplasia. With clinical application, MT-sDNA has potential to meaningfully address current gaps in our approach to CRC screening through benefits of its high accuracy on screening effectiveness, user-friendly features on patient compliance, and easy mail-out distribution on test access. The US Food and Drug Administration and Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services have recently completed their parallel reviews of MT-sDNA, which has just become available for clinical use. This review summarizes the recent clinical validation data on MT-sDNA, addresses central clinical questions at this front end of implementation, and touches on innovative future applications of stool DNA testing.
