Cancer Screenings Lead to Overdiagnosis
I’ve seen a few articles about this subject recently. Here’s one from Wired News today.
Counterintuitive as it may sound, it’s sometimes better not to find out about cancer, the researchers said. Some cancers are likely to resolve themselves without treatment, and some patients may be likely to die of another ailment before cancer becomes an issue. A third reason for patients to be wary of cancer screenings is that the risk of false positives seems to increase with more screenings.
