Abstract:
As technological and genomic innovations continue to advance precision cancer prevention, psychosocial, ethical, and operational complexities increasingly accompany their development. Addressing these challenges will require intentional cross-disciplinary collaboration. We argue that the distinct yet complementary lenses of bioethics and implementation science will be crucial as precision cancer prevention technologies move toward clinical integration. We provide a framework for how this joint effort can be accomplished and sustained across the translational pipeline.
