After 20 years of screening for breast and prostate cancer, several observations can be made. First, the incidence of these cancers increased after the introduction of screening but has never returned to prescreening levels. Second, the increase in the relative fraction of early stage cancers has increased. Third, the incidence of regional cancers has not decreased at a commensurate rate. One possible explanation is that screening may be increasing the burden of low-risk cancers without significantly reducing the burden of more aggressively growing cancers and therefore not resulting in the anticipated reduction in cancer mortality. To reduce morbidity and mortality from prostate cancer and breast cancer, new approaches for screening, early detection, and prevention for both diseases should be considered.
How convenient?
ObamaCare all ready Begun!
Fall in line with da furher, let my people die! ObamaCare shall save cash, while funneling power to the Furher.
All hail the furher.
Am I spelling furher right?
I mean who wants to know if the have early stage cancer anyways...right?
Yes, perfect timing.
Now Obama can reference the American Cancer Society as proof that rationing is justified.
Bull. Cancers vary, many types of prostate cancer, some will never kill you and some will kill quickly.
This reminds me of when Sec Sebilius announced 60,000 people might die of H1N1. Not based on CDC, but the WH “scientests”.The media pretty much blew it off, I believe because they recognized it to be an attempt to change the subject.
They all make me ill.
Twitter from Beck, more marxists apparently to be documented on his show today.
Is there a category after flabbergasted?
I’m there.
I read similar articles before. I also suspected they were cutting people up, unnecessarily. This was another way they protected their own butts...at YOUR expense of losing a breast.
Dont you recall they used to remove entire breasts and now, in many cases they just remove the lump?
In this day and age, with ambulance chasing lawyers, doctors are very quick to do whatever it takes not to get sued. We as patients, cant make decisions because we dont know if they are doing things for us, or themselves.
I know a person who just had a lumpectomy and was asked if she wanted that, or the entire breast removed. Now, if the dr thought it was safe to have either..why ask? Because, if anything happens to this woman..it was her own choice.
I dont trust anybody and keep as far away from the medical profession as I can.
Sellouts. They are all nothing but sellouts.
Would Dr Esserman like to live with a teeny tiny breast cancer tumor?
