Simple Summary This article is intended to serve as a roadmap for scientists, steering them toward fruitful avenues of investigation. Moreover, the review makes a compelling argument for the implementation of universal cancer screening and multi-cancer early detection screening. It synthesizes evidence supporting the efficacy of such screenings, emphasizing their potential to detect various cancers at early, more treatable stages. By presenting a well-reasoned case, the review contributes to the discourse on the importance of widespread screening, urging healthcare providers and policymakers to consider its adoption for improved cancer detection and outcomes. Abstract Cancer continues to pose a considerable challenge to global health. In the search for innovative strategies to combat this complex enemy, the concept of universal cancer screening has emerged as a promising avenue for early detection and prevention. In contrast to targeted approaches that focus on specific populations or high-risk individuals, universal screening seeks to cast a wide net to detect incipient malignancies in different demographic groups. This paradigm shift in cancer care underscores the importance of comprehensive screening programs that go beyond conventional boundaries. As our understanding of the complex molecular and genetic basis of cancer deepens, the need to develop comprehensive screening methods becomes increasingly apparent. In this article, we look at the rationale and potential benefits of universal cancer screening.
