“…Cancer represents the set of diseases with more incidences and mortality in Western countries, and its numbers are increasing every year with the consequent social and economic impacts [1]. For that reason, special efforts have been allocated to the design of efficient CSP for specific tumor types that impact overall survival [10][11][12][13]. Most of these CSP incorporate screening tests for selecting individuals with risk of having cancer to whom the standard diagnostic procedures are applied to confirm the disease.…”

“…Unfortunately, most of these tests have demonstrated poor accuracy and efficacy, particularly among the most prevalent cancers [14]. The actual cancer-screening tests for the four most prevalent tumor types (CRC, LC, PCa, and BC) are mainly based on radiological images (Computed Axial Tomography (CAT), mammography, and multiparametric magnetic resonance for LC, BC, and PCa respectively), some biomarkers such as PSA in PCa or fecal occult blood for CRC, and other invasive interventions such as colonoscopy for CRC [11][12][13][14]. These cancer-screening tests are characterized by low sensitivities or specificities (PSA and fecal occult blood tests) or require specialized trained personnel (image related tests) that make them expensive and limit their use to specific populations and/or referral centers [14].…”

“…In addition, multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the prostate is a functional form of imaging used to augment standard T1-and T2-weighted imaging. Multiparametric MRI may miss up to 12% of cancer cases [3]. In addition to the need for reducing the number of biopsies come most of the time with pain, fever, bleeding, infection, transient urinary difficulties, or other complications that require hospitalization [4].…”

“…7 Actualmente la evidencia acerca del cribado poblacional para CaP con el PSA es controversial, ya que no existen datos sólidos que demuestren una reducción de la mortalidad y por el contrario se ha descrito a nivel mundial una asociación importante entre la tamización con PSA y el aumento del diagnóstico y posible sobretratamiento de esa enfermedad. 8 El objetivo del presente artículo es definir a la luz de la evidencia más reciente cuáles son los beneficios derivados del uso rutinario del cribado poblacional para CaP con PSA.…”
