The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

so breast cancer prostate cancer you think of these cancers um the breast is not a vital organ women can live without a breast so how do you die from breast cancer prostate cancer men can live without a prostate how do you die from prostate cancer it's because these tumors shed these cells and they disseminate throughout the system and then they arrive at places like the brain the lungs the liver and the but and they set up what we call sort of colony tumors there and they begin to grow and invade those organs and that's how you ultimately die from breast cancer if it's localized you're not going to die from breast cancer and so preventing that spread is really the critical aspect
Whole-body MRI screening in healthy adults produces more incidentaloma harm than cancer-mortality benefit.
Starting colonoscopy screening at 45 (vs 50) prevents enough early-onset cancers to justify the population cost.
Multi-cancer liquid-biopsy tests like Galleri detect early cancers at a stage that meaningfully improves survival.
