We propose an expanded approach to evidence for cancer screening policy and practice. First, we need to better understand why and how screening happens the way it does, sometimes at odds with evidence of benefits and harms.

An expanded approach will offer essential information to better support well reasoned judgements, and develop more accountable and less contested cancer screening policies.
