The Breast Cancer Overdiagnosis Conundrum: An Oncologist's Viewpoint
Cet article plaide pour un nouveau regard sur la controverse relative au surdiagnostic des cancers du sein dans le cadre des programmes de dépistage par mammographie
Ongoing controversy surrounds the appropriate age to begin and the frequency of mammography screening for breast cancer. The authors of this commentary argue that we need to develop more accurate, less invasive tests that not only find cancer early but also determine how aggressive the cancer is and how it should be treated. Until then, they believe the focus should be on finding cancer early with less worry about “overdiagnosis.”
