Screening programmes are designed to save lives through early diagnosis of cancer, but they also lead to misdiagnosed results and the overtreatment of harmless lumps.
A new study by Southampton University researchers has found that these negative outcomes for patients cancel out up to half of the benefit that others get from living longer lives.
This means that for example while screening may give an extra year of life to one breast cancer victim, in another patient it could result in six months worth of suffering due unnecessary treatment.
TVNL Comment: Not to mention that the screening process CAUSES CANCER!!! It's all about money. The medical establishment is in the treatment business, not the health business. They don't make money if you are well.
