"ER" on TV last night was partially about this very subject. The docs had to convince a woman to get even a needle biopsy. Because she believed in the myth that surgery causes cancer to spread. As the characters explained, back when people would wait a long time to go to the doc, the surgeon would open up somebody and they'd see that the cancer was everywhere. Folks at home would say, "They opened Joe up and it made his cancer go everywhere!"
Love and light,
Lisa
