[Karsten Juhl Jørgensen @KarstenJuhl]

@kimpo393 @sciencensmiles @cantaskforce We generally cannot and should not be able to choose any intervention we like, even where the evidence is weak or absent. This principle would not be responsible or ethical. For screening nor treatments. That cancer inevitably spreads we now know very well is not correct.

[Renee Pellerin @ReneePellerin]

The decision tools here make the pros and cons very clear.

We suffer from too many "know-it all" experts in Medicine. We need more high quality science. See e-letters to 'Debunking myths about screening'. https://t.co/tXY6wtwwO9

An excellent review about naive overoptimistic views and expectations regarding screening.
An eyeopener about the key issues that everyone engaged in discussion about screening should be familiar with.
Warmly recommended!
