Precision Prevention Studies: A Targeted Approach to Cancer Prevention
Sarah P. Blagden, Kevin W. Dodd, Karen Brown, Éva Szabó
Abstract
Precision prevention trials are biologically driven interception studies conducted in high cancer risk groups. These are smaller, potentially faster, cheaper, and more commercially attractive than traditional large-scale population prevention studies. In this article, we discuss the key challenges of conducting precision prevention research and their mitigations.
