Abstract: | (CIT): The notion that early detection saves lives seems a simple and obvious truth, but many generally-accepted cancer-screening procedures have yet to be proven effective, and all have associated harms that are often overlooked. Dr. Barnett Kramer will address what it means for a screening test to be considered effective and differentiate what is known from what makes intuitive sense in the area of cancer screening. |
