alt Hacker NewsI read most of the research on this topic. And it's all basically "overdiagnosing".
We had the same story about prostate cancer screening: "overdiagnosing", "people die with prostate cancer but not of prostate cancer", blah blah blah. It turned out that simply adjusting the aggressiveness of follow-up was enough to make prostate cancer result in significantly fewer deaths.
From my point of view: MRI is the ONLY tool that can catch things like pancreatic cancer before it's lethal.
Sure but you have to scale that prostate intervention change across literally everything in every kind of internal medicine. There's just no way to justify the cost of doing this regularly for most people.
