Does cancer screening do harm? - The Globe and Mail
My response:
Cancer patients, while valuing research, will also explain that once you have had a cancer diagnosis there is no such thing as 'over-diagnosing'. It is often too sad that we need to mention 'once you have had'. Medicine is not black and white and who do we lose in the process of these 'averages' which is the basis/formulas which research is focused. Fortunately or unfortunately breast, prostate and colo-rectal cancers have screening mechanisms - good or bad. For most cancers there are none. For those cancers which do not have screening tests available, the patients would love to be having this discussion.
