Cancer Screening BY BARNETT S. KRAMER, MD
Does the evidence always support intuition?
Intuition seems to dictate that any test capable of detecting cancer early, before the onset of symptoms, must be of benefit. Unfortunately, that intuition is wrong. More importantly, it can lead to serious harm.
All available screening tests for cancer can trigger harms; but not all of them are known to be of benefit. The benefits of some cancer screening tests do outweigh the harms (for example, cervical cancer screening; colorectal cancer screening; and mammography, although there is controversy about whether to begin at age 40 or 50), but in many cases we just don’t know. In some cases, we even know that harms outweigh benefit.
