Several strategies can help minimize the occurrence of false negatives:
1. Improved Test Sensitivity: Developing and using tests with higher sensitivity can reduce the likelihood of false negatives. 2. Multiple Diagnostic Methods: Using a combination of different diagnostic tests can provide a more accurate overall assessment. 3. Quality Control: Ensuring high standards in sample collection, processing, and analysis can help minimize errors. 4. Regular Monitoring: Regular follow-up tests can help catch cancers that were missed in initial screenings.
