Re: False Positive Mammograms Affect Most Women After A Decade

Quote:
women who were diagnosed with cancer from screening every other year were not considerably more likely to be diagnosed with late-stage cancer, compared to women who were screen annually.
"not considerably"?


How can so much ink be spilled on false positives with nary a mention of something like 30% false negatives? Which causes more "stress"?
