About The Study: Regional participation in a population-based multicancer early detection (MCED) screening trial was associated with a modest increase in diagnostic delay rates for patients referred for suspected head and neck, lung, and upper gastrointestinal cancers. This increase is unlikely to have materially affected interpretation of the MCED screening trial primary findings. Future trials of population-based screening interventions likely to affect demand for limited health care resources should consider monitoring for system-level spillover effects. 

About The Study: The numbers of physicians and nurses immigrating from countries with complete immigration bans have significantly increased over the past decade, with these countries contributing nearly 24,000 physicians and 56,000 nurses to the entire U.S. health care workforce in 2023. Communities with physicians and nurses from banned countries were much more likely to experience ongoing health care workforce shortages. The findings of this study suggest that the recent complete immigration ban could reduce the physician and nurse workforce in the U.S. and worsen access to care across already underserved communities.
