“The test doesn’t save lives, on balance, and the treatments are usually worse than the disease.”
Can’t agree with this. Last year I was diagnosed and treated for prostate cancer. If you define saving lives by prolonging my life then I believe my life was saved. I selected proton radiation therapy to treat my tumor. Treated with success and with almost no downside to the treatment. The worse part of the treatment was loose stools.
I fell off a loose stool once. Man was that painful.
