"Patients with a shorter life expectancy have less time to develop clinically significant cancers after a screening test and are more likely to die from noncancer health problems after a cancer diagnosis."...well, that's the reassuring message my GP gave me as he informed me that at 76 this would probably be the last year I was scheduled for a PSA test - actually he went on to say the virtually all men have some form of slow-growing prostate cancer from about their early sixties on, and that if science could magically eliminate all other forms of fatalities, all men would probably die from prostate cancer by about the time they reached 120 - I sure went home feeling good that day......

“Any physician who provides screening that is not mandated will be first fined and then charged with breaking the law.”

One “little problem” with this is that they can’t tell whether it’s slow of fast growing until it’s too late.
