Assessment of Cancer Screening
Cancer screening is a prominent strategy in cancer control, yet the
ability to correctly interpret cancer screening data seems to elude
many researchers, clinicians, and policy makers. My initial attempt
to address that problem was to develop a short course on the assessment of cancer screening that focused on methodology and data
interpretation. I frst taught the course during the 2015 spring semester at the Foundation for Advanced Education in the Sciences, informally known as the National Institutes of Health Graduate School.
As the semester went on, it became clear to me that my students and
the larger community needed a text. I chose to call the text a primer
as it covers the basics and is written as simply as possible
