The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
what i i had a colonoscopy two years ago well it looks like you have it again go get a colonoscopy next week lo and behold there's a tiny little adenomatous polyp there that is an early stage one and gosh i need just the smallest little partial colectomy and i'm i'm cured because that is a 100 curable cancer
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
and while you can't direct the scalpel right away obviously you can do a colonoscopy um but similarly for you know breast cancers and others where you can then start to focus your attention right with with imaging analysis to try to you know detect the cancer maybe not the moment that the blood test is positive maybe it's going to take you six 6 months 12 months 18 months of continued surveillance and then you'll find it at a much earlier Point than you ever would have found it you know based on our other methods
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.
